Support Our Mission
To lead the efforts in which every foster family attains the rights to clothing, hygiene, development, and a loving support system.
Support Group
Although heart-warming and beautiful, foster care can be challenging for children and the families who open their hearts and homes to care for them.
From newborns to teenagers, the kids and their fostering families can experience a lot of stress and uncertainty. That’s why we host monthly support groups that bring people together and give them a sense of comfort and community.
Borrowed Hearts Boutique
Our boutique is exclusively for children in foster care and fostering families. We are able to provide clothing, hygiene products, baby formula, baby gear, diapers, socks, toys, and much more; FOR FREE!
This boutique has helped thousands of children in foster care since 2016 and relies on donations from our generous supporters.
Advocacy
Our founder, Sarah Gough, identified huge gaps in the support and resources available to foster children and fostering families. We do as much as we can, but the needs of children in foster care across Southern Indiana and continue to grow.
To help improve the future for fostering families and the "borrowed hearts" they nurture, we advocate for improved funding, resources, and support for some of our most vulnerable neighbors.
