Before getting into foster care, I had my own idea on what it would be like and what sorts of challenges there would be. After doing it for 2+ years now, I can say the challenges we've faced are nothing compared to what these kids have had to endure...through no fault of their own. We live in an amazing city with selfless people like Paula and David, who run Garrett's Place, a resource for foster kids and families. Each placement that we've had, Garrett's Place has helped equip us with toys, clothes, etc for each child. They are truly a blessing and do this year round. They hosted their annual Christmas Party last weekend at Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church to over 300 kids and their families! It was a memory our family will never forget. Help them if you can. Thank you.
