I have found MANY great small businesses that support foster care and decided to finally create a place to share ALL of them so y’all can find them and shop them too! So here are my favorites and I expect this list to keep growing, so keep checking back for more amazing shops that support foster care!! I hope you will find precious gifts for you, your babies, your friends and your friend’s babies 🙂

Kristina is a t-shirt and jean type gal, a passionate Mama to 4, believer, fan of homemade cookies, nature, a good heart to heart, and slightly obnoxious dance parties with her kiddos. This is her story.
Mother Teresa said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”
15 years ago, she spent several months working in the orphanages of Ecuador. It was the first time she had witnessed the tragedy of broken families so large scale, and it was eye opening. But among the heartache, she found something even more powerful, she found strength, resilience, and goodness in so many children. That experience ignited a desire inside of her to speak up and raise awareness for vulnerable children in the America.
Since becoming involved with Foster care, she has fallen in love with Marjorie Hinckley’s quote, “There isn’t a person you wouldn’t love, if you could read their story.” She hear stories about those who have been touched by foster care in some way- and these real life stories of heartache, resilience, courage,and faith are inspiring. As she listens to these stories something changes inside of her, strangers begin to resemble someone familiar. Misconceptions are replaced with compassion, assumptions are replaced with admiration, and distance is replaced with community.
We all have a story. Stories that testify of our heartache, humanity, divinity, growth, strength, and goodness. And maybe if we share + hear more stories, we can love more freely. We can relate. We can connect. We can break down barriers and build new bridges.
Her hope for Amity & Anthem is to share stories that connect, uplift, empower, and move us to action. Hearing stories can help us reach beyond our normal associations to break down barriers and build a community. She hope her website encourages us to recognize our influence as mothers and to use our platform to speak up for the children who don’t have a voice. She hopes together, we can start a conversation, make an impact, start a movement, and create a ripple that can be felt widespread. She hopes we can open our eyes to the needs that surround us, and to always encourage those who have overcome so much to keep going.
Her goal is to help you advocate for vulnerable children through education, stories, opportunities, and her Do-Good Shop. We can’t do everything but we can do something, and although it might seem small in your eyes, we never know the gravity it can carry for someone else. Together, we can transform the world.
“We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in change. Small acts, can transform the world.” – Howard Zinn
