Foster parent support and encouragement

Foster parents say yes to children in need, and that yes often comes with a cost. Foster families can experience intense emotional stress, schedule disruptions, financial strain, and the weight of caring for children who have experienced trauma. Many foster parents are doing their best while feeling isolated and overwhelmed.

Practical resources for foster families

Consider the Lilies exists to strengthen foster families so they can continue saying yes. We provide practical resources, encouragement, and support that helps foster parents feel less alone.

Help with clothing, school supplies, and basic needs for foster kids

Support can look different for each family. Sometimes it is help finding resources for clothing, school supplies, or basic needs. Sometimes it is encouragement and connection with other foster parents who understand the realities of foster care. Sometimes it is help navigating what to do next when a new placement arrives and everything changes overnight.

Foster care stability and support for children

We believe foster families should have access to community support that is consistent, compassionate, and practical. We also believe that when foster families are supported, children experience more stability and dignity.
