As the holiday lights twinkle and we gather with our loved ones, it's easy to see how much "home" really matters.

But as we look toward the countdown to 2026, many of us are asking: "How can I make this coming year truly meaningful?"

The answer is fostering children in your community! The journey to becoming a foster parent is a marathon, not a sprint. By reaching out this holiday season, you can:

✅Start the conversation when your heart is full.
✅Get a head start on orientation and training for the new year.
✅Be the answer for a child who needs a fresh start in 2026.

Make your 2026 resolution one that changes a life forever! Contact Sydnie Burtis at 906-273-1095 ext. 210 or [email protected].

What Does "Home" Mean to You?

​Is it hot cocoa on a cold night? A comforting bedtime story? The sound of laughter around a table?

​For children in foster care, these simple, ordinary moments of family life are extraordinary. This holiday season, we challenge you to consider making your home a place where a child can experience these moments.

​Fostering isn't always easy, but it is one of the most rewarding journeys you can take. Here at U.P. Family Solutions we provide continuous support, training, and resources. All you need to bring is love, patience, and a spare room.

Holy smokes.

August was QUITE THE MONTH!

Total calls for help for kids not living with their biological/custodial parents as of AUGUST 31....

71.

This averages out to about 18 kids a week. Just over 2 kids a day.

We took in countless bags of gently used and new clothing donations. Thank you for taking the time to make thoughtful donations rather than just dumping drawers into bags. Most of the calls are that the kids came with nothing but what they were wearing. Having new/like-new, nice, clean, in-season, and in-style items on hand is a huge time saver for us.

We received right around $4,000 in monetary donations in August. Thank you for every penny donated!

We spent just shy of $3700 on new items (car seats, beds, cribs, mattresses, clothing, shoes, and more). Thank goodness for clearance racks and the money that was donated to cover the cost of the items.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the support through this crazy month!
