Slide 1 of 3

"As a foster parent, unexpected expenses can add up quickly. The Back to School Bash helped ensure our children had what they needed to start the school year with confidence. Seeing their smiles and excitement reminded us how much small acts of kindness can make a difference."

- Natasha Fryman

"Stitched Together understands that foster care is about more than meeting basic needs—it's about helping children feel valued and loved. The Back to School Bash provided resources, community, and a sense of belonging that our family will never forget."

- Jamie Steward

"The support our family received through Stitched Together's Back to School Bash meant so much. Not only did the gift cards help relieve financial stress, but my children felt celebrated and cared for by a community that understands their journey. It was more than an event—it was a reminder that we are not alone."
