HFS is proud to provide many of our services free of charge to our clients with the wonderful support of our donors. Here are some of the items that you can provide support for:
Nurse Care and Counseling Support ($100 and up)
Our nurse, Connie O’Neill, RN, has been serving our birth mothers and adoptive parents for over 20 years. Connie specialized in pediatric care and uses her years of experience to provide in-home support for our new adoptive parents, including bathing, burping and baby massage. For our birth mothers, especially first timers, Connie, as a certified doula, educates them on their body changes and on warning signs and labor techniques. Her services cost $100/hr which is all paid for through generous donations. Consider donating an hour or even several to support our birth mothers and new parents.
Birth Mother Support ($50 and up)
At HFS, we have a birth parent fund that helps support our birth mothers financially while she is pregnant and recovering pospartum. This fund pays for very specific, pregnancy related support (such as food, rent, utilities, clothing, medical costs and travel to appointments, social worker time with birth parents, and legal fees related to court termination of parental rights). All of our adoptive parents pay into the fund, but donations support the fund to keep costs down for our families.
Outreach and Education Support ($50 and up)
Young women in an unplanned pregnancy, potential adoptive and foster parents, and medical professionals are often unaware of the resources and support services available to them and their clients. HFS’ Outreach and Education team connects with the community and builds relationships by sharing an informed, clear, meaningful message about the option of adoption and our lifelong services. Support our team with your donation of $50 or more to help provide out community with this important information.
Christmas Presents for our Foster Youth ($40 and up)
All children love the wonder and excitement of Christmas. Help provide a special gift under the tree to one or several of our foster youth. With your donation, our staff/volunteers, will select a personal gift for our children in care. Make a gift to support a particular HFS program that resonates with you by donating now
