🏠 DRINGEND: VERBLYF BENODIG | URGENT: ACCOMMODATION NEEDED ❤️

By Serving Kids Through Community kom ons gereeld in aanraking met vroue en kinders wat, weens moeilike omstandighede, binne ’n baie kort tyd ’n veilige plek nodig het om te bly.

Ons is tans dringend op soek na:
🏠 Veilige, korttermyn verblyfopsies vir vroue en kinders wat skielik ’n plek nodig het om te bly.
🤝 Mense/organisasies wat bereid is om verblyf beskikbaar te stel of ons te help om moontlike opsies te identifiseer.
💛 Finansiële bydraes om ons in staat te stel om verblyf te help bekostig wanneer daar geen ander opsie is nie.

Ons wil graag ’n netwerk bou van mense wat kan sê: “As daar iemand is wat dringend ’n veilige plek nodig het, kontak my.”

Elke bydrae—groot of klein—kan ’n ongelooflike verskil maak.

📩 Indien jy kan help, of iemand ken wat moontlik kan help, stuur asseblief vir ons ’n boodskap of deel hierdie plasing.

---

At Serving Kids Through Community, we regularly encounter women and children who, due to difficult circumstances, suddenly need a safe place to stay within a very short period of time.

We are urgently looking for:
🏠 Safe, short-term accommodation options for women and children who suddenly need a place to stay.
🤝 Individuals or organisations who are willing to offer accommodation or help us identify possible options.
💛 Financial support to help cover accommodation costs when there are no other options available.

Our goal is to build a network of people who can say: “If someone urgently needs a safe place to stay, contact me.”

Every contribution—big or small—can make a meaningful difference.

📩 If you can help, or know someone who might be able to help, please send us a message or share this post.

Sometimes a safe place for tonight can be the beginning of hope for tomorrow. ❤️

Maak jou huis vir ’n rukkie oop🏡

Nie almal is in ’n posisie om hul huis permanent oop te stel nie, maar soms kan ’n kort tydjie van sorg reeds ’n betekenisvolle verskil maak.

Pleegsorg is ’n besondere verbintenis, en soos enige gesin, het pleeggesinne soms ondersteuning nodig. Daar kan tye wees wanneer ’n pleegouer vir ’n kort tydjie hulp nodig het — hetsy oor ’n naweek, gedurende ’n skoolvakansie of wanneer omstandighede dit vereis. Dit is juis in hierdie tye waar ’n liefdevolle en betroubare ondersteuningsnetwerk ’n waardevolle rol kan speel.

As jy kans sien om vir ’n kind ’n veilige en ondersteunende omgewing te bied — hetsy vir ’n naweek, ’n paar dae of gedurende ’n skoolvakansie — wil ons graag van jou hoor.

Alle belangstellendes sal deur die nodige proses van keuring en voorbereiding begelei word om te verseker dat elke kind in ’n veilige en geskikte omgewing versorg word.

Stel jy belang om jou huis vir ’n rukkie oop te maak?
Kontak ons gerus vir meer inligting. Ons wil graag met jou gesels, jou vrae beantwoord, en saam met jou deur die proses stap.

WE NEED HELP FOR OUR FOSTER KIDS AND FAMILIES!🫶

We are reaching out to our community with warm hearts and a sincere request. As we continue supporting children in need and the foster families who care for them, we’ve reached a moment where extra help would truly make a difference.🙏

Donations help cover important child well-being needs such as doctors appointments, eye-tests, glasses, school fees, and occupational therapy. It helps provide essential items for children (food, clothing, toiletries), it helps us support foster families who have opened their homes, and donations allow us to respond quickly when a child enters foster care with very little.

There are other meaningful ways to help as well. We warmly welcome professionals who would like to offer their services, such as occupational therapy, counsellors, doctors, dentists or other forms of support, and become part of the network that strengthens our hands and helps us give these children everything they need.

Even the smallest contribution helps us continue this important work with kindness and dignity💛

‼️Safe & Loving Home Needed‼️

We are URGENTLY asking for the help of parents, families, and community members who are willing to open their homes to three children in need of a safe and loving home.

If you are able to help or would like more information, please contact us as soon as possible. Your support can make a meaningful difference in the lives of these children.

Can you help us make a difference?

We’re looking for a pre-loved laptop or tablet in good working condition for a young girl in foster care.

She is about to be enrolled in a GED programme, and we would love to equip her with the tools she needs right from the start as she works toward completing her education and building a brighter future.

Our hope is to bless her with a device she can call her own — something that will support her journey forward, especially as she didn’t have the opportunity to finish school in the traditional way.

If you have a device you no longer use, your donation could have a powerful impact on her life.
📩 Please send us a message if you’re able to help or would like more details: 084 836 7036
Thank you for being part of changing lives, one child at a time.

Wat ’n ongelooflike spesiale dag was dit nie! 🩶

Serving Kids Through Community het die voorreg gehad om op 4 Julie 2026 ’n bemoedigingsgeleentheid aan te bied vir pleeg- en aanneemouers – en ons harte is opreg dankbaar.

Ongeveer 24 volwassenes en 30 kinders het saam gekom vir ’n oggend van groei, hoop en saamwees. ’n Groot dankie aan Albert van Dynamite kids wat met soveel passie gedeel het oor hoe God vir ons die Heilige Gees gee, en hoe Hy vandag nog met ons wil praat – ons moet net leer luister en tyd saam met Hom spandeer.

Terwyl die kinders buite gespeel het, kon ons met die ouers gesels oor “The mercy of not knowing” (uit Reframing Foster Care deur Jason Johnson) – ’n boodskap van hoop, vertroue en rus in God, selfs wanneer ons nie al die antwoorde het nie.

Ons fokus was die volgende: om vir hierdie ongelooflike ouers te wys ons sien hulle raak, te bemoedig en ook bietjie te bederf.

✨ Ouers kon “shop” uit tweedehandse klere
✨ Elke gesin het ’n emmer koekies ontvang vir die vakansie
✨ Geskenkpakkies om die kinders besig te hou oor die vakansie
✨ Mammas – ’n "paint by numbers" vir rus en kreatiwiteit
✨ Pappas – ’n boek om bietjie stil te raak en te groei

🙏 ’n Spesiale, opregte dankie aan ons MAANDELIKSE SKENKERS. Dit is deur julle getroue bydraes dat ons geleenthede soos hierdie kan aanbied. Julle maak dit moontlik om hoop tasbaar te maak en gesinne prakties te ondersteun. Julle saai in lewens – en die impak daarvan is groter as wat woorde kan beskryf.

🙏 Dankie ook aan:
• Solidariteit en helpende_hand se jagprojek vir die wildsmaalvleis vir elke gesin.
• vir die heerlike lasagne, burgers, slaai en cupcakes wat die dag perfek afgerond het
• ⁠Taberna Dei, vir die geriewe
• Elkeen wat bygedra, gehelp en deel was van hierdie dag.

Ons is dankbaar vir die geleentheid om saam te kon wees, saam te groei en mekaar te bemoedig. Julle werk maak ’n ewige verskil in kinders se lewens – en ons sien julle raak. 🩶

Post 27: This doesn’t end in May

This series might end in May…
but this doesn’t.

The posts stop.
The stories pause.
But the reality doesn’t go anywhere.

On the 1st of June,
the world doesn’t suddenly become less broken.

There will still be children who need homes.
Right now, there are still children waiting.

Foster families will still wake up
to the same challenges,
the same stretching,
the same need for support.

Nothing magically gets easier
just because the calendar page turns.

So the question is… what now?

You’ve read the posts.
You’ve stepped into our world, even if just a little.
You’ve seen the beauty, the tension, the cost.

But this was never just about awareness.

Because awareness without action
doesn’t change anything.

Maybe you’re not called to foster.
Maybe that’s not your role.

But you are still part of the story.

Maybe it looks like supporting a family.
Dropping off a meal.
Buying groceries.
Helping with clothes.
Showing up in small, consistent ways.

Maybe it’s praying.
Maybe it’s asking questions.
Maybe it’s simply choosing not to look away.

Because this doesn’t end in May.

And neither should our response.

Before this ends, I also just want to say thank you.

Thank you to Jamie Finn from Foster the Family Blog —
for the way she shares,
for the way she shows up,
and for the way she has inspired this journey.

I’ve been following her since before we got involved in foster care…
and somehow her words and her story
became part of what helped us say yes.

And even now, she continues to inspire me.

Maybe that’s also where this starts for you.

Follow someone’s story.
Learn.
Listen.
Open your eyes to the world around you.

Let something move you.

And then don’t stop there.

Dig deeper.
Ask God what He’s calling you to.
Pay attention to what stirs in your heart —
that passion didn’t land there by accident.

Embrace it.

Because this doesn’t end in May.

Let it be the beginning
of something more.

Post 26: The one that stuck with me

I can’t really pick one.

I can’t say there’s one child or one situation that stuck with me more than the others…
because the truth is, all of them did.

Every single one changed something in me.
And all of it kind of just stays with you.

This whole journey is unpredictable.
Every day feels different.
Every child, every story… it’s never the same.

And I know people say it’s like that with biological children too —
and maybe it is —
but I still feel like there’s something different about this.

It keeps you humble.
It keeps you grounded.
It brings you to your knees… a lot.

And if I’m honest,
there are moments — more than I expected —
where I’ve thought… maybe I made a mistake getting involved in the first place.

And I don’t think all of those thoughts are just my own.

I do think the enemy sometimes places that doubt there —
trying to make me believe I got it wrong,
that I shouldn’t have stepped into this.

Because this is kingdom work.

And maybe that’s also why I’ve realised
I can’t do this on my own.

I need to be walking closely with God.
I need to make the Holy Spirit part of my everyday,
not just when things fall apart.

Because the truth is…
I don’t have what it takes by myself.

I need Him.
All of Him.

I don’t know…

I just know it’s not one story that stayed with me.

It’s all of them.
