You do not have to be perfect to be a foster parent. You just have to care.

Maybe you are the person who checks in.
Who notices when someone is quiet.
Who feels it when someone is hurting.

That is compassion. And it matters.

Youth experiencing foster care have experienced trauma, loss and big transitions. They do not need perfection. They need someone who sees them, believes them and stays.

You may not share their story. But your empathy can help rewrite the next chapter.

If you have love to give and a heart that moves toward others, this could be your sign.

Hair is not just hair. For many Black youth, it is identity, history and pride.

The Natural Hair Movement helped challenge outdated beauty standards and made space for natural, textured hair to be celebrated. And that celebration matters, especially for youth who deserve to feel confident and seen exactly as they are.

If you are caring for a youth with textured hair and feel unsure where to start, you are not alone. Learning how to properly care for their hair is a simple but powerful way to show love and respect for their culture.

That is why we created our How to Care for Textured Hair eBook. It is practical, encouraging and designed to help you feel more confident.

This Black History Month, let’s keep learning, keep celebrating and keep showing up for the youth in our care. 💛https://hubs.ly/Q042MGCx0

Today we’re celebrating Faith, Foster Care Specialist, and her 3-year anniversary with KVC. 💙

Most memorable KVC moment:
It’s not one single day, but the moments in between, especially carpooling with coworkers to events like All-Staff in Omaha. Catching up, laughing and spending time together makes those days extra special.

How her approach has grown:
Over time, Faith has become more confident and direct. She now feels comfortable having honest, sometimes tough conversations with families, always with the goal of helping them grow and better support their children.

Thank you, Faith, for your dedication, growth and the care you bring to the families you serve. We’re so glad you’re part of the KVC team! 💙

Celebrating 1 Year with Andrea! 🎉

Her advice since starting:
“Self-care is so important. Some weeks are super stressful, and if I’m not taking care of my mental and physical health, I can’t really help our families and kids.”

Why Andrea chooses KVC:
“Being able to work from home and have flexibility with scheduling is great. I’ve also really enjoyed writing home studies.”

Thank you, Andrea, for all you do to support families and kids every day! 💙
