Once inside, Brad realized that PS I Love You wasn’t a thrift store. It was like a fancy boutique or department store. He’d never been shopping like this before. The ladies gave him a small rolling cart with a list of items to pick out and showed him where the teen room was. There were clothes and PJs, but the wall of shoes immediately caught his eye. New shoes. Nice shoes. Shoes his neighbors would brag about. He realized he was staring when the kind lady said, “You wanna tr

A tall man opened the door with a shorter woman just behind him. “Hi Brad, I’m Dylan, and this is my wife Brenda. Our boys are in the den playing Xbox if you want to join them. Can I get your bags for you?” Brad realized for the first time that he didn’t have anything. He was wearing clothes from yesterday when he slept outside and didn’t even have a bookbag when he ran to catch the school bus that morning. “I don’t have anything,” he said, embarrassed. “No problem, you c

The shock was evident on Brad’s face, but quickly turned to frustration. “You can’t make me! I’m not gonna go! I don’t care what you say!” They continued walking out to the white minivan, and he rode in silence, refusing to speak. Questions flooded his mind… where would he go? Where was his mom? What happened to his grandma? He knew a kid from the neighborhood who was sent away in foster care. Disappeared. Never came back. They couldn’t make him live somewhere else; he’d run

Sitting in the school counseling office, Brad watched his Coach unpack his bag and get his computer logged in. The man was so patient and kind, never pushing, but always interested in his students. Finally, Brad looked up with a tear running down his face. “I need help.” “Tell me what happened, son,” the coach responded with gentleness. Brad shared it all. The drinking, the neighbors, the arguing, the fighting, and his mom leaving. It had been weeks of chaos and confusion. H

One day after baseball practice, the coach asked Brad to stay behind so that he could help him with his glove. It wasn’t a very nice glove, but Brad loved it because his grandma bought it for him at a yard sale. Brad loved baseball and was so excited that Grandma signed the form to let him play on a real team. Practice was just down the street from their trailer, so he could walk there after school. He loved being with the team, and the coach was the nicest person he’d ever m

By: Breanna Myers Operations Manager at PS I Love You In January of 2023, we started attending View Church, where Pastor Tyler Kirby often talked about foster care. My husband felt the call to foster before I did. God continued to work in my heart over the next year; in the spring of 2024, I felt the calling to foster care after a couple at church had shared about their foster care journey and how they went on to have biological children as well! When we felt the calling to

By: Madison McCall You Are Worth It, Founder At our 12-hour prayer gathering, one of the stations was a Fireplace. The room glowed softly with candles, each one carrying the name of a child currently in foster care and the number of days they had spent there. Rows of names. So many children. So many stories. So many days spent waiting for stability, healing, reunification, or a forever home. As I stood there praying, looking over all the candles, one name immediately caught m

Every child deserves to walk into their classroom feeling ready, confident, and excited to learn. However, for many families, the start of a new school year can bring stress, especially when it comes to gathering the supplies students need to succeed. That’s why our school supply bags have become such a meaningful part of both our care bags and our annual back-to-school event. Each bag is more than just pencils and paper. It’s a message. It says, “You matter. Your education

Church Spotlight: Springwell Church This month, we’re honored to spotlight Springwell Church in Taylors, South Carolina. Springwell has partnered with us as a sponsor for about a year, though their Support Pastor, Matthew Haines, has personally been connected to our ministry for nearly three years. When they describe their heart for children and families in foster care, one word rises to the top: hope. A Church Built on Hope At its core, Springwell Church has been passionate

By: Madison McCall You Are Worth It, Founder She came in quietly, wrapped in a story far heavier than her tiny body should ever have to carry. A little girl, new to this world, already walking a road marked by loss and uncertainty. Foster care. A birth mother battling addiction. A future that once again depended on the love of strangers. And beneath all of that, the unspoken ache because of her skin color, she had not been chosen. When the staff member took her into her arms,

"And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others". 2 Corinthians 9:8 This past year reminded me of God’s grace, His provisions, and His purpose in our calling. Through the generosity of our community, we witnessed this promise come to life again and again. Every donation, collection, volunteer hour, and prayer became a vital part of a story bringing hope and dignity to children and families
