You Can Help Kids Like Tyler! Your Gift Doubles by March 31!
Friend,
I’m reaching out to you today to share a difficult story, but one that I believe can have a hopeful ending because of you.
It’s about a precious 9-year-old boy named Tyler, who feels so much hurt from past trauma that he’s prone to outbursts. It’s so bad that his foster family is overwhelmed and praying for a lifeline.
When it gets to this point, it’s hard to imagine anything could turn it around.
But that’s not true. I want you to know that your gift today will give this family exactly what they need. Tyler, too.
Now, let me share a little more about Tyler and his foster family…
Sarah and Mark live in rural Greenwood County, South Carolina, and have opened their hearts and home to Tyler, a boy who had been removed from his biological family due to severe neglect. Sarah and Mark thought their experiences raising their biological children would be enough to prepare them.
But then Sarah called in tears.
“We want to help Tyler, but we don’t know how. We’re exhausted, and our other children are scared. We need help… and soon.”
Tyler’s trauma is showing up in ways they never expected. He’s refusing to come out of his room for dinner. A few weeks ago, he threw a chair when Sarah asked him to brush his teeth. Tyler’s nightmares wake everyone, and Sarah finds herself crying quietly while Mark tries to comfort their other children.
That’s because with your gift today, they will receive weekly virtual therapy sessions and specialized training on how trauma shows up in children and the skills to respond well to it.
They’ll learn that Tyler’s outbursts aren’t defiance—they’re fear. When Tyler has difficult moments, they’ll have the tools to be the support system he needs to heal.
And remember, your gift will DOUBLE, up to $50,000—but only until March 31!
Your gift makes sure that foster families, even in rural areas, have the tools they need to provide safety, care, and stability for children who have known only chaos.
Will you make a gift by March 31 to help a child in foster care experience the safety and love they deserve?
And when you do, your gift will be DOUBLED up to $50,000—to have twice the impact for children and families.
Your gift tells kids in foster care—and their foster families—that they matter to you. Please give today!
For children and families,
Rev. Myron W. Wilkins
