Best Foot Forward

For Families in Crisis this Christmas

LSS-SW is helping me become the mother that I need to be. I just want my kids to come home.

The Christmas season does something special. It unites us in tradition. It gives us hope for peace on earth.

But every year, there are thousands of "invisible" neighbors who are completely forgotten during the holidays. For parents that have had their children removed from their homes - often due to neglect, domestic violence, and substance abuse - the holiday season can be a lonely time. Some struggle with grief, guilt, and depression.

They truly do not expect to receive anything special this Christmas. But you can change that. Can you show love to these families this Christmas?

Help parents who are working to have their children come home put their best foot forward this Christmas season with a brand new pair of shoes.

Your gift means so much more than a pair of shoes. You're saying to parents that are struggling - "I believe in you. I am rooting for you." When they walk forward through tough times - a court hearing, a job interview, a counseling appointment - you'll be walking with them.
