Every Child Experiencing Foster Care Deserves a A Soft Place to Land
No Child Should Spend Their Worst Day in a Cubicle.
Thousands of children in South Carolina are experiencing foster care.
They wait in government offices, sitting in hard chairs for hours, often with just a trash bag or suitcase after being removed from their home.
Scared. Confused. Alone.
This is where we step in, to create a soft place to land.
We partner with South Carolina DSS to transform cold offices into warm, welcoming rooms with soft blankets, cozy beds, calming lights, familiar books, and toys. Spaces designed to offer comfort.
A reminder that they are safe, and matter.
Join us in giving every child experiencing foster care a soft place to land.
Inside Foster Care Reality
3,900
Children experiencing foster care in SC every single day.
Each one separated from family, school, and every comfort they’ve known. They didn’t choose this. But they’re living it.
57%
Children waiting in care longer than six months.
More than half wait, and wait, for a place to call home. Sometimes for years. Every day without belonging takes its toll.
2,160
Foster homes missing from the system in South Carolina.
SC needs over 2,000 more foster homes. Until then, children will keep spending nights in DSS offices instead of bedrooms.
