A note on fees: Givebutter includes an optional platform tip and a processing fee at checkout. These are added on top of your gift amount — not taken out of it — so your full gift always goes directly to Kinship House. If you'd prefer not to cover them, simply select "Do not cover" when prompted about the processing fee and enter 0 for the Givebutter tip.

This season, give the gift of feeling safe.

For most of us, the holidays mean coming home. For a child who has experienced foster care or adoption, home can be a complicated idea. The lights, the gatherings and the family traditions that bring so much joy can also stir up big feelings: memories of people they miss, worry about what comes next, or the quiet question of whether this place, and these people, will last.

That's why the holidays are one of the most important times of year for the children and families we serve.

At Kinship House, we provide specialized therapy and advocacy for children and families experiencing foster care and adoption. Through play therapy, caregiver support and care that sees the whole family, kids learn that they are safe, and caregivers learn how to help them feel it.

One caregiver shared what that looked like for her daughter:

"At the beginning, we would spend the whole session coming up with innovative ways to protect her from the bad guy, but as time went on… it took less time to get him to go away and focus on just bonding with each other."

Another told us their son felt so safe with his therapist that he wanted to go to counseling on his birthday instead of missing it.

That's what your gift makes possible. When you give this season, you help a child build trust, a caregiver feel supported, and a family grow closer, during the time of year when it matters most.
