Sponsor A Child
A Hope Pack is often the first thing to provide comfort to a child on what is often the worst day of his, her or their life. You can help make sure that every child who is entering the foster care system in Texas has a fresh start by sponsoring Hope Packs for babies, children and teens in care.
Carrying Hope into the New Year
From a fragile baby to a frightened toddler to an overwhelmed teen, a Hope Pack is often the first thing to provide comfort to a child on what is often the worst day of his or her life. At Carrying Hope, every dollar we receive goes directly to making more Hope Packs, but we need your help to make sure that every child who is entering the foster care system in Central Texas receives one. If you’re looking for a way to give back, we hope you will consider sponsoring a child.
The “Hope All Year” Gift: $600
Your gift of $600 will provide Hope Packs to more than a half-dozen children who are entering the foster care system.
The “Sibling Hope” Gift: $200
Your gift of $200 will provide Hope Packs for a sibling group that is entering the foster care system.
The “Classic Hope” Gift: $85
Your gift of $85 will provide 1 Hope Pack to a child who is entering the foster care system.
