The Measure of a Life is not its
Duration, but its Donation

Make a Donation

Because every child deserves dignity, comfort, and care, you can help make that happen.

At A Better Life For Foster Kids, we believe no child should ever enter care feeling forgotten. Every child deserves the essentials: clean clothes, a warm bed, a comforting toy, and the sense that someone, somewhere, cares about them.Your donation helps us provide immediate, practical support to children entering care, young people transitioning out of care, and the dedicated carers who welcome them into their homes.

Ongoing Support

One-Off or Regular Donations

Support the ongoing work of A Better Life For Foster Kids by making a donation, no amount is too small. Your contribution helps us create and deliver Crisis Cases, furnish homes for care-leavers, support carers, and provide essentials where and when they’re needed most.

A $100 donation, for example, can go a long way towards covering the cost of a Crisis Case, which might include clothing, toiletries, toys, and comforting items tailored to a child’s age and needs. Whether it’s a young teen male, a young boy, or a baby girl, your generosity makes an immediate difference.
