Caring, kind, and passionate are the best way that I could describe the hands and feet delivering help and hope organization. At our families most desperate time of need this organization was able to help our family raise money for a family vehicle that would be able to transport all four children, two at the time we’re foster special-needs and two biological special needs children. Through the years I’ve been able to count on them at Christmas time to bring smiles to my children’s faces, and throughout the year for needs that were desperately needed, but did not have the money to purchase myself. We have since adopted the twins we were fostering this journey has been long drawn out, and Bailey With Hands And Feet has been there with open arms to help wrap around our family. We cannot thank your organization enough.
I am a social worker working in the treasure coast area with children who have been removed/sheltered from their parents/legal caregivers and placed with either relatives or in foster care. I have connected numerous families with Hands and Feet and have found it to be a much needed resource in all communities. One family of a large sibling set who went into care with only the clothes on their backs, received all their basic needs met by Hands and Feet. After I requested sizes and needs and sent the referral in, I was lucky enough to be at the home, when Kristen arrived with a mini van packed full of their stuff. The children's faces lit up as they each helped with bringing the numerous duffle bags into the home. At one point one of the siblings inquired "There's more??" As he was handed a large oversized duffle bag packed full of clothing. I honestly lost track of how many oversized duffle bags were brought for the sibling group. I am so so grateful to your agency and how quickly Hands and Feet delivers to the children in the community. Kristen apologized to them for "taking so long because she had difficulty finding larger sizes." Kristen delivered these numerous oversized duffle bags within a week that I sent the referral in, mind you, this is a LARGE sibling group. We hugged each other, I thanked her, the children thanked her and she went on her way. Thank you for all you do.
We got word of an 18 month foster boy coming to stay with us at 7pm on a Monday night. By noon the next day, Hands and Feet had delivered some essentials and a large bag of clothes (like 14 outfits + a few sets of pajamas). They go above and beyond to serve and care for everyone they can- and their heart to provide for others is like none I’ve seen. What a blessing Hands and Feet is!
This nonprofit has impacted so many lives in our own communities. I have witnessed the happiness, love and support these families have experienced with all the amazing services & donations this organization has provided them. Not only do they help supply the tangible items that these families need, but they also offer the convenience of delivering the goods to these families during some of their most challenging times. This nonprofit truly deserves to be top-rated!
Total lifesaver! On a few occasions we have welcomed foster children in the middle of the night who come with nothing and The Hands and Feet have shown up very shortly after placement and brought us everything these kiddos needed from underwear to formula to even a double stroller when we sheltered a newborn at the same as we were fostering a 5 week old baby. We are so grateful for the support they’ve given both us and the children we’ve fostered- they’ve been a blessing to us!!
I remember leaving my home to pick up a child in need and forgetting a car seat for the baby boy. One of the owners sent a car seat to the location that I was visiting to ensure I had a seat to travel.
I began to give time back to this organization and organizing classes for mothers who need help with foster children that rock their natural Afro textured hair. I fell in love with their mission and later joined to assist where needed!
This organization is one of the best assisting those in need and not overlooking one or community! I’m thankful I know your hearts and who you are!!
I have been serving with Hands and Feet for over a year and have watched countless families blessed by the immediate needs they provide.
As a board member I have been amazed to see the incredible growth of this organization in less than a year and a half. Seeing the leadership and staff dedicated to meeting the needs of children in our local community impacted by the foster care system it has been refreshing. Organizations ran by people who have experienced the exact problem that they are trying to fix it shows the heart of the Hands and Feet. I am honored to be a part of something so important.
