Welcome
Featured Family Impact Story
It is often said that angels are all around us. One of KVC’s foster and adoptive families was recently honored by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute as one of its Angels in Adoption. Although their wings are not visible, Kathy and Lon Ostrom are truly guardian angels to many of KVC’s kids. They have fostered more than 20 children since 2006, providing a safe home for children who have experienced trauma and abuse, and for children with high medical needs.
Featured Everyday Hero
“Everyday Heroes is there because these children need a hero everyday in their lives.”
“These children live here. Homeless or not, they are our children. We need to do what’s right.”
