THE STORY
At Kits of Hope, we believe that all children who have experienced trauma deserve love, hope and joy.
​
Every year, nearly 500,000 children are impacted by neglect, abuse and trauma and spend time, sometimes years in the foster care system. It is hard to imagine a child being taken from their homes by strangers, often without their beloved belongings that they are attached to, leaving children feeling lonely and terrified.
​
Though our curated Hope Kits created by Pediatrician Dr. Eko, you can help to make the transition into the foster care system a little easier by sharing love, hope and healing with a child that needs it. When children have a chance to have unstructured play, this promotes self-confidence, social and cognitive skills, and resilience in the face of trauma. These skills are crucial building blocks for success and personal fulfillment in adulthood.
