Back-To-School Campaign 2026
When Maya moved in with her grandmother, everything changed. It was a new home, a new school, and she had very little of her own. Without a backpack or clothes that fit, she felt out of place.
Thanks to generous donors and community partners, Maya received a brand-new backpack and a clothing gift card just in time for the school year. She picked out her favorite outfit, packed her new supplies, and walked into school with her head held high.
That simple gift gave Maya more than school essentials. It gave her confidence and a sense of belonging. With your support, children in kinship care can start school feeling prepared, proud, and seen.
Each gift is valued at around $100 per child.
