"I want to thank you for the kindness you gave to my son. I have no money to buy food or gifts. Thanks to you he got excately what he asked Santa for. My heart is filled and my family has been blessed because of you. With a heart filled with gratitude and joy."

Thousands of children remain in foster care wishing for that BIG DREAM… a forever family.  You may not have room in your home, but you can still help a child in foster care by granting their holiday wish of a first baseball glove, a first bicycle with helmet, or even a pass to the Science Center. Wishes range from just $20 to $200.
 
Choose a child with the same name as yours.  Choose a wish by how much money you'd like to spend, or the type of gift you'd like to give - educational, music, a ride-on toy, or a baby doll.  After you grant the wish online, the elves in our office order it from the vendor and the gift is then sent directly to the child in time for the holidays.
 
This year, FACC received record high requests for Little Wishes... a 25% increase!  This holiday season there are over 7,000 Little Wishes waiting to be granted by generous donors like you.  Make it a family mission, team with co-workers or friends, or even make a tribute to a favorite family member... and make a Little Wish for a foster child come true this holiday season!

Ways to Help Minimize
Little Wishes, a partnership among FACC, KSDK NewsChannel 5, and Wal-Mart in Kirkwood, is a program that raises donations from the public to grant the wishes of Metro St. Louis children in foster care. There are three simple ways to help grant wishes:
  1. Granting Wishes just became easier!  The public can go to www.foster-adopt.org and choose from over 7,000 wishes ranging from $20 - $200.  Just Click to Give!
  2. For true shop-a-holics, attend the Wal-Mart in Kirkwood Shopping Extravaganza Day on Saturday, December 6th from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  Show up on December 6th, choose a child's little wish from the tree and elves will help you shop for the child's gift!  Federal Express will be on hand to mail your gift directly to the foster child!
  3. If you would like to assist in granting that Big Dream of a forever-family, you can purchase a Wish Upon a Star ornament for only $10 plus $2 shipping and handling. Contributions will also help Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition cover the costs of finding forever families for children in foster care.
