Courageous Love

Courageous Love A Non-Profit Ministry serving children who have experience in the foster system, group homes, or safehouses.

Courageous Love was founded in 2024, inspired by the personal experiences of Andrew and Lindsay Crust as foster parents in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by foster parents—particularly the difficulty in accessing necessary resources, finding respite care, and managing the emotional toll of fostering—Andrew and Lindsay sought to create a ministry that would addr

ess these needs through faith-based support and community engagement. Since its inception, Courageous Love has been committed to empowering foster families with the tools, resources, and emotional support necessary to provide loving and stable homes for needy children. Although Courageous Love is not a foster agency, we tend to have common goals of developing successful programs and services to mitigate burnout and promote longevity.

Because of you, 2025 was a year of showing up.

For the child in foster care.
For the mom facing an impossible choice.
For the families saying yes — even when it’s hard.

Your generosity helped raise over $16,000 to support foster, adoptive, and kinship families in crisis .

And that generosity turned into real impact:

• 3,000+ children and families received practical and emotional support
• 7 community events created safe spaces for connection and joy
• 20,000+ clothing and toy items were donated to children entering or navigating foster care
• 10,000+ diapers donated and over 7,500 distributed to families in need
• 100+ volunteers stepped forward to serve

These aren’t just numbers.

They represent children learning to trust again.
Caregivers feeling supported instead of alone.
Families breathing a little easier.

At Little Monkey Bizness, we watched kids laugh freely.

At the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, some saw a giraffe up close for the very first time — and felt like they belonged in a group that didn’t question their story.

Through our Clothing & Toy Drive, children received brand-new items that quietly said, “You matter. You are seen.”

And thanks to our diaper drive partnerships, basic needs were met for families who simply needed someone to stand in the gap.

That someone was you.

As we look ahead to 2026, the needs are not slowing down. Children will continue entering foster care. Families will continue facing crisis. Caregivers will continue saying yes.

We are committed to meeting them there.

Would you prayerfully consider continuing your support in the year ahead?

Your ongoing generosity allows us to respond quickly, create safe spaces, and meet practical needs when families need it most.

Together, we can continue delivering growth, healing, and hope — one child at a time.

From the bottom of our hearts,

Thank you for your Courageous Love.

Andrew & Lindsay Crust
