🍂 As temperatures drop, sweaters, long pants, and cozy socks will be filling our Bags of Hope – personalized duffel bags that are intentionally prepared for youth experiencing foster or kinship care.

Least of These Carolinas exists because we know it is not easy to take in and care for a child coming from a traumatic situation. Families and caregivers, like Natalie, need consistent support so they can continue pouring into children experiencing foster and kinship care. We are here to walk alongside people who choose to say ‘yes’, even on the hard days. ❤️

🎥 Natalie “If you’re in our home for 2 days or forever, I’m so grateful for the love I get to share with these sweet children. Every struggle, tear, stress, and mental breakdown is worth it to give them a safe place to grow. And I would never take back one sleepless night. 🥹🩷”
