On National Build Day, Alabama Professional Services and Sleep in Heavenly Peace joined forces to tackle a daunting issue: child bedlessness. This initiative aimed to provide hand-made beds to children who, without this support, would have to sleep on floors or couches, contributing to severe health and emotional challenges. Reflecting on my own experiences, I remember volunteering for community projects similar to this where we came together, rolled up our sleeves, and made a tangible impact. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about working collectively to uplift those in need—it's a reminder of the positive change we can create in our communities. Did you know that sleep deprivation can lead to hyperactivity, anxiety, and depression in children? The bedlessness crisis is real, and initiatives like these are crucial for fostering healthier futures for our youth. What can you do to contribute to this cause? Consider volunteering your time or donating to organizations that address these pressing issues. Together, we can bring hope and comfort to the lives of children. #ChildWelfare #CommunitySupport #Volunteer #SleepInHeavenlyPeace #AlabamaProfessionalServices #NationalBuildDay

🏠💪While single parenting offers a unique and enriching life experience, it also presents its own set of challenges, often overlooked by society. Managing household expenses on a single income and seeking stable and affordable housing are just a sampling of the difficulties they face daily. 👩👧 Recently, the case of Hunter Biden spotlighted the issues related to child support and expenses. Such high-profile cases shed light on what countless single parents navigate every day, often without such resources. 🤝🏽 As businesses and organizations, we can play a part in making a difference. Let's strive to create programs and initiatives that specifically aid single parents. Let's review our charity goals or strategies for social responsibility in our communities.

We achieved non-profit status in January of 2023 and haven’t stopped expanding! Our dedicated and passionate team currently supports over 30 participants with disabilities and acquired brain injuries in their homes and communities. What sets us apart from other DD waiver providers is our commitment to inclusivity and challenging barriers. Most providers require participants to pay for all employee costs for outings to see their favorite artists, sports teams, and vacation spots. This makes these kinds of memories financially impossible for many participants. We work diligently to keep organizational costs to a minimum in order to cover employee costs. There is no greater feeling than seeing the joy in someone’s face as they participate in creating the life they have imagined!

💰 #FundingOpportunity #ChildWelfare #Kinship Hello everyone, I, along with 3 others from around Canada, are part of the advisory for this Impact Challenge in #Canada by a Family Philanthropic Foundation, Sonor Foundation. Sonor Foundation delivers funds through impact challenges, and the next 3 years of funding will be based on this Impact Challenge. Does your organization work with kin communities engaged with the child institutionalization system, systemically known as the Child Welfare system? Do you have a program idea that would enable young people in the system to connect with kin to build strong and empowering relationships? Kinship caregivers are the least supported caregiver population with little resources compared to adoptive parents, foster parents, etc. This area is an important gap that impacts young people. Put your idea forward for a chance to be chosen to recieve funding; this is multi-year funding that can span 3 years. Deadline is March 8th. Good luck!

One after another, we kept hearing the same question: “What can I do to help?” First, we want to say – Thank you! What an overwhelmingly powerful and immediate response to our mission. So, what can you do to help? We’ve asked our COK advisors for their top answers to this question. 1) Spread the Word. Do research on your own state foster care statistics and use our template letter to write directly to your state governor in support of Connect Our Kids. Start a letter-writing campaign in your state. Ask 5 friends in your state to write a letter, and 5 of their friends, and so on. Many social workers and welfare professionals just don’t know about us. We need to nudge our state officials to start utilizing our family search and engagement platform. 2) Follow Us and Share. Believe it or not, social media is a powerful tool for a non-profit. You could spread the word with someone who works in the child welfare space or with someone who can become a donor. 3) Donate. We are a team of dedicated developers, researchers, and connectors collaborating with state and private agencies nationwide to create technology solutions that enable support connections and loving families for children in foster care. We need your support. Donate to help us keep going! https://lnkd.in/giYhTX_A #RootsTech2023 #ConnectOurKids #TechnologyForGood #FosterCare #ChildWelfare #SocialWorkers #FosterCareStories
