North Family #1: Bergen County, Oradell 07649 Fun, loving family of 6. This foster and adoptive home is full of life and loves to be together and present in each other's lives whether it's through play or dance parties. This family consists of 2 adopted daughters (ages 5 and 4), a 19 year old youth and her son (2 years old), and a biological daughter (1 year old). This family could use as much support as possible, and someone comfortable with navigating through trauma. This family would benefit from all forms of support offered by our Love Box program.
Central Family #1 - Located in Mercer County, Trenton 08618 This fun loving family of 6 is fostering 1 child; a girl (2 yrs old). They have also adopted 3 children, one of whom they just adopted last fall. Mom expresses difficulty navigating the education system for one of her children who needs school support. The kids enjoy family outings at the beach, watching movies at home as a family, and visiting their favorite restaurant. The family requests some support in the form of gift cards, time, and meals.
Central Family #2: Located in Mercer County, Trenton 08618 This is an awesome kinship family of 5 with 1 child (5 yrs old) being fostered. The great aunt who shares a home with her 2 adult children and granddaughter has taken her nephew into her home without question. She has since been displaced from work by doctors due to medical conditions. The family enjoys family game night together. The child being fostered is high energy and has some developmental delays. This family is in high need of financial and emotional support.
Central Family #3: Located in Mercer County, Lawrence 08648 This amazing family of 5 has one 5-year-old girl they are fostering. They have also adopted one child and have a biological child. The family would love someone to babysit/hang-out with the kids. One child has behavioral issues and needs a lot of attention, which is difficult with two working parents and two other children in the house. Dad does a lot of house projects and Mom likes to garden. Family would love to be able to do fun family activities together, but sometimes it is expensive to buy tickets for the whole family. Family would benefit from all types of support.
Central Family #4: Located in Mercer County Lawrence 08648 This loving family of 9 has 4 kids they are fostering, a set of twin boys (3 yrs old), a girl (14 years old) and a girl (2 yrs old). They also have 3 biological kids: twin boys and another son. They would love to have someone help with transportation to activities. The kids are very active and sometimes it can get hectic. The children are busy and benefit from being enrolled or participating in activities: Soccer, Softball, Basketball, Trips to Six Flags, etc. The family is unable to offer a lot of these since taking a family with 7 kids to Six Flags for a day trip is financially difficult. Family expresses that date night has become difficult because cost for a sitter could become pricey. They would like to get back to spending individual time with each one of their kids, but finances haven’t allowed them to do this as much as they would like. This family would benefit from all types of support.
Central Family #5: Located in Mercer County Pennington 08534 This beautiful family of 4 is new to fostering and has a set of infant twin boys. The family would love playdates with other families that may have infants. They also seek emotional support from others with foster care experience given this is their first time fostering. This family’s greatest need is babysitting. Family expresses financial support is not needed but an occasional meal, box of diapers or wipes would be great.
