We are getting closer to adopting the two girls we’ve had in our care for the past two years! While this is an exciting time, we need support from our friends and family now more than ever. The girls are not supported through the foster care system, we 100% financially support them. Not every form of help is financial, over the past two years people have generously provided us with clothes, shoes, diapers, formula, a listening ear, and help with childcare for our 6 kids. For the next few months we’ll be working on completing the adoption of the girls, and would love any support you can give. We are hoping to have a fundraiser soon, so stay tuned for that as well!

Why We Love This Gift: It is never easy explaining to children why individual family members may not be present physically all the time. The Otter Snuggler is a perfect resource for military families, grandparents, or children who struggle with separation anxiety. The Otter Snuggler's detachable heart gives little ones a strong sense of security in the absence of someone they love - and is especially comforting when the removable heart given to the family member they miss dearly appears over a video call!
What To Express In Your Card: Hello, little one! I wish I could be there with you all the time. You have my heart wherever you are, no matter what.

What is the best gift anytime? A Target eGift Card. With no fees and no expiration dates, the real question is: who couldn't use a gift card from Target?
Why We Love This Gift: Whether as a baby gift or to replenish supplies around the house, to cheer up a sick kid, or help someone with prescription costs, you can almost always find exactly what you need at Target. We love this gift because it enables your recipient with endless options and the ability to purchase precisely what they need - no questions asked.
What To Say In Your Card: I thought this might come in handy. I am sending you so much love!

Target

Target - Target Gift Card

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo
