Kinship Caregivers Give of Themselves Daily, Let's Support Them!

Kindred Hearts SC, a kinship navigator program, spawned from the need to address the gaps in services and resources available to caregivers not involved in the child protective services system; while being inclusive of families with both formal and informal placements. The ability to navigate systems to obtain resources to ensure a safe and healthy living environment is paramount in the development and well-being of the children and the caregivers.

Kinship Care, is a concept that is gaining traction in the world of child welfare/family services. For years, grandparents on fixed incomes, aunts/uncles who are raising their own children, older siblings who are trying to figure out their life paths, and even people who don’t share the same blood; but, through a big heart, have chosen to accept responsibility for ensuring children who, for some reason, aren’t able to be in the care of their biological parents, are in a safe living environment. While many kinship caregivers accept the responsibility of raising their kin's children, without second thought, we believe that a supportive community can be the catalyst to ensure the children in their care are able to thrive!

Donating to Kindred Hearts South Carolina allows for sustainability of programs designed to raise awareness of kinship care families, educate the service community of their needs and the caregivers of community resources. We believe that "Community is What Works!"
