It was almost Christmas. Sarah needed to make extra plans so that Steve could have a very special Christmas. She called PS I Love You Ministries and asked them for help. Martha answered the phone at PS I Love You and was so excited to learn that Steve was finally able to leave the hospital. She knew Sarah was busy and did not have time to go shopping.
Martha picked out all the items Baby Steve was going to need to get settled in his new home. She packed outfits and extra onesies, blankets and burp cloths, diapers and wipes, and also a diaper bag full of items. Her favorite item she packed was a special board book Bible for Sarah to read to Steve. Sarah stopped by PS I Love You the next day, to see Martha and pick up the big bag of items for Steve.
After packing the bag in Sarah’s car, Martha went back inside, to her desk and started working on a special Christmas surprise for Sarah and Steve. When children are in foster care at Christmas time, it can be extra hard with big emotions! PS I Love You wants to help support children and their families by providing toys and extra clothes, as well as items to make fun family memories, to help make the holiday season a little brighter.
Martha quickly worked on a wishlist of age-appropriate toys that Steve would like and listed his clothing sizes. She made a couple of phone calls and found the perfect sponsor who had been waiting to be matched with a child for Christmas. The sponsor was so excited to go shopping for Steve and came to PS I Love You the next day with a bunch of presents! Martha packed the presents and had a big surprise for Steve.
Baby Steve's Story is an incredible story of a medically fragile child in foster care that is included in PS I Love You's 2024 Mission Kit.
