Giving Tuesday
DECEMBER 2, 2025
Every child deserves an advocate—and you can be the one who gives it to them.
This Giving Tuesday, your gift helps train and support advocates who stand beside children in Harris County's foster care system. Every child deserves someone who shows up, listens and never gives up.
Behind every story, there's hope.
Watch how one advocate changed everything for Alyssa...and how Alyssa became an advocate herself. Your donation makes more stories like Alyssa's possible.
When you donate, you are not just giving money. You are giving a child a chance to be seen, believed in and feel safe again.
