Come grab some photos 📷 and last minute Easter outfits on the 23rd!

We are in need of new car seats and new mattresses for the children we serve. This would be a huge blessing for a family. So many foster and kinship families are delayed in receiving children in their home bc of the need for beds and car seats. We are here to support these families by making the children's transition as smooth as possible into their new home. If everyone would provide some dollar amount, we can make a huge difference! It takes a village! Many may not know, but we at RestoreOne do not receive any dollar amount..... We ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS. Every dollar goes back to buying goods for our families.
We have so many new families reaching out to us, the needs are great. I believe not everyone is called to foster, but everyone can make some kind of difference in the lives of these children. Be the one to make a difference. Would you consider donating?

Congratulations Coleman family on their recent adoptions! YES, you read it right, they adopted 2!! These two brothers are full of energy and love. They enjoy playing sports and helping Seth out on their farm. Seth and Katie have enjoyed the journey of fostering these two sweet boys. They were very excited when adoption became an opportunity for their family.

We are so happy and blessed to have been a part of their journey! Please join us in CONGRATULATING them on finding their forever family!

‘I would like a family that is perfect for me. I really miss my mom.’

If every person in America could sit in on just one of our interviews, zero would be a reality.

Would you consider a tax-deductible donation to help us purchase new mattresses and new car seats for the children we serve?

Through our experience, the children we serve who are at risk in going into foster care and have open cases with DSS, are sleeping on the floor or wherever they can find to lay their heads. They have never experienced sleeping in a bed before. We serve children who were abruptly removed from their home for the safety of the child’s well-being and placed with relatives (kinship placement). Those relatives have to provide a bed so the child can be placed with them. The same situation is required of foster parents. Often families/individuals are scrambling and have no extra funds to provide a bed. We don’t want a child not to be able to stay with relatives or find a home bc of not having a bed. We want to promptly provide new beds to every child who needs one to ensure quick placement and lower the risk from the child staying in DSS offices over night.

Please partner with us and give. Every dollar makes a difference in a life of a child.
