We’re less than two weeks away from the Snowflake Festival, and we’ve only raised $1200 of our $5,000 goal to cover the costs. These kids have already faced so much—separation from their families, loss of stability, and challenges most of us can’t imagine. The Snowflake Festival isn’t just a party; it’s a chance to show them they’re more than just statistics. It’s a night where they can feel joy, community, and hope. But here’s the reality: this event can only happen through the generosity of people like YOU. Without your help, some of these kids might miss out on the warmth and love we’re working so hard to create. Here’s how you can help: 🎁 Donate Now: Even $10 can make a difference. Every dollar helps bring us closer to giving these kids the holiday they deserve. 📣 Share Our Link: Spread the word to your friends, family, and colleagues. Let’s rally together to ensure no foster child is left out this holiday season. Imagine the joy on their faces as they unwrap a gift, laugh with Santa, or share a meal with their foster families. These moments will stay with them far beyond the holiday season, reminding them that they’re cared for and valued. Please, don’t wait. Help us prove to these kids that they deserve happiness too. https://lnkd.in/e8Tfx-EW

I've had several people recently ask me how they can get involved with ACH Child & Family Services. I'm happy to share there are several ways! Our mission is to protect kids and preserve families, specifically in foster care. We also do a ton of work in adoption, families experiencing domestic abuse, young adults aging out of foster care, free family counseling for the public, and more. In short, we have 15 different programs that offer a continuum of care. Here's how you can get involved: 𝟏. 🙋𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲. Many of the children we serve are teenagers who have been deprived of quality time with adults who 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 want to hang out (they can tell the difference from someone is who is getting paid to spend time with them versus genuinely wanting to be there). We're here to fix that. Activities are fun (think crafts, bowling, cooking, etc.) and are in a group setting. We do ask for a one-year commitment to ensure the kids have consistency with who is visiting. >> https://lnkd.in/gcxYmxHm 𝟐. 👫 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩. Want to make a difference with your company, organization or a group of friends? Sign up for Supper Club, Campus Cleanup, or another group project. We always need helping hands. >> https://lnkd.in/gSQwTb5F 𝟑.🤝 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐀𝐮𝐱𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐲. "Women's Aux" is a great way to fight child abuse and neglect, protect families and raise awareness. This mission-driven group of women focuses on advocacy and service opportunities. >> https://lnkd.in/gTUd59e5 𝟒. 💰𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞! Money makes the world go 'round, and we can't possibly serve the kids and families in our area without funding. No amount is too small or too infrequent. We have a program called Hands-on Heroes for people who would like to contribute monthly, or you can donate a one-time gift. ☝️One-time gift: https://lnkd.in/gmWZce2K 🫶Hands-on Heroes: https://lnkd.in/g9KV_cwB If you have any questions, reach out to me!

You don’t need to be an adoptive family to support and advocate for adoption. Everyone can play a vital role in making a positive impact on the lives of children and adoptive families. Here are some ways you can help: ✨ Spread Awareness: Share information about adoption and the needs of children in foster care. 🤝 Volunteer: Offer your time and skills to local adoption agencies or support groups. 👐 Donate: Contribute financially to organizations that support adoption and foster care. ✏️ Educate: Learn and share about the challenges and joys of adoption to dispel myths and build a supportive community. 👍 Mentor: Be a positive influence in the life of a child or a support system for adoptive families. At Plus One Adoption Foundation, we believe everyone has the power to make a difference. Your advocacy can help create loving, supportive homes for children in need. Donate to our mission at https://lnkd.in/gQP3TcJW Have you supported adoption in any way? Share your story with us! #plusoneadoption #familyplanning #adoption #adoptionmythbusters

Do you believe you have the power to make a difference? This week I attended the AGM for TeignAid. Their incredible volunteers support homeless people and those at risk of homelessness in Teignmouth and Dawlish. Often these people will be given emergency housing, but it’s in a different area. They have to leave behind their community, adding loneliness to their struggles, and costing them a fortune travelling for medical appointments or to get their children to school - not to mention the the time it takes, making it impossible to work and improve things for themselves. They may not have cooking facilities, making it expensive to eat - either in cafes and takeaways, or buying snack foods. Not only is this expensive, it is difficult to eat healthily too, exacerbating their health conditions. Even with professional support, the system to find permanent, safe accommodation is difficult to navigate and a slow process. There must be times when it feels impossible for clients, and for the TeignAid volunteers trying to help them. That’s when this belief can be essential in reminding them to keep going and that they are making a difference, even when it feels like an uphill struggle. TeignAid work closely with Teignmouth Mutual Aid Community Larder and Volunteering in Health to make a difference for some of the most vulnerable people in our community, who can often go unheard. If you can spare an hour or two a week to support them in any way, please send them a message. #volunteersweek

Nowadays, technology impacts everything, even foster care! CarePortal connects charities with families in need, like Uber connects drivers with people who need a ride, and has helped more than 250,000 children in the past decade. “In crisis, those touched by the child-welfare system could connect with churches and people who care in proximity that would want to help if they knew. What would happen if you could expose people to the reality that a bed or crib or car seat, or paying a bill, things that were small, like 6-inch barriers, would actually make a difference to keep kids out of foster care and reunify biological families?” Learn more about this wonderful platform at https://bit.ly/49vj2oV #ChildWelfare #FosterYouth

They have been telling me, "Myesha, we see you're doing the work which is great but how is the world supposed to know if you never post it?' Well, here is one of many to come... The past 5 months have been filled with so many emotions, opportunities, experiences, and moments that words can barely capture. While I've always believed in letting the work speak for itself, I'm learning that sharing these moments isn't about self-promotion – it's about inspiring others and showing what's possible when we truly commit to community transformation. Behind every success story are countless silent hours, tear-filled breakthroughs, and small victories that add up to lasting change. From late-night crisis interventions to early morning strategy sessions, from connecting families to resources to celebrating their triumphs – every moment has reinforced why I chose this path. To those who've been gently pushing me to share more: thank you for understanding that impact isn't always visible and for encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone. And to those just joining my journey: this is what purpose looks like – messy, beautiful, challenging, and absolutely worth every second. Get ready to see more of the behind-the-scenes moments that make the work that I do so meaningful. Not because I need the recognition, but because hope deserves to be shared. 💫 More Than A Conqueror #PurposeDriven #CommunityImpact #SocialChange #Authenticity #LeadWithLove #ServiceLeadership #BehindTheScenes #GrowthJourney

While a lot of people are groaning about #taxday, today is also International Microvolunteering Day! 🗓️ And that is something to celebrate! Did you know that volunteering is great for your mental health? Studies show that giving back to causes you believe in and/or helping people in your community can reduce stress, combat depression, increase self-confidence, and provide a sense of purpose. 🧠 You might not have time to volunteer for big projects, but we're sure lots of people could get involved in micro-volunteering - bite-sized volunteer tasks that only take 1-30 minutes. It's a great way to give back to your community while also taking care of your own wellbeing. Whether it's picking up litter around your neighborhood, or buying a few extra things to donate to a local food bank the next time you're headed to the grocery store, every small act of service can make a difference! 💚 Join us in celebrating International Microvolunteering Day by finding a quick and easy way to volunteer. You never know who you might impact. Little acts can have huge ripple effects! #PathwaysCounselingServices #MicroVolunteeringDay #MentalHealthMatters #Volunteer #Giveback #helpothers
