The Hope Box an extension of Fostering Hope Ministries.
A community clothing closet and support ministry for foster, adoptive, and kinship families.
Because no family should walk this journey alone.
Our Mission: to put the Scriptural mandate to care for vulnerable children into action.
My name is Kayley Garriott. I’ve been fostering for 6 months and currently have one sweet kiddo placed in my care. I also have one bio kid who’s learning how blessed we are to get to help in this ministry. Please pray for guidance and peace over our family as we navigate this incredible journey.

We’re the Lyles family — our home is a place of love, laughter, and faith. Three of our kiddos are our forever blessings, and two are currently in foster care. Through our foster care ministry, we serve as a middle family — providing a safe, nurturing home for children while their first families work toward growth and healing.
Caring for vulnerable children and families is one of the purest and most undefiled demonstrations of the Gospel this world will ever see. One of the truest outward expressions of the Gospel living within us is to see hard places and broken people — and move toward them, not away — because this is exactly what Jesus has done for us.
Our prayer is to be a bridge of love between where a child has been and where God is leading them next. 💛

Hi! We are the McElvany Family. We have been married for 8 years and foster parents for just about as long, having welcomed our first placement after only 9 months of marriage. In total, we have had 14 kids placed in our home through foster care. We now have 2 biological children, one adopted and (right now) two foster placements. By bringing our kiddos a favorite snack or meal you are walking alongside us in this ministry and it can truly make all the difference in a hard day. We would love to see more people have the opportunity to serve vulnerable youth and getting involved in the families who care for them in our church community is a great way to do that. Our most frequent prayer requests are that God would fill our home with ‘peace that surpasses all understanding’ to be a safe haven for kids who have lived in chaos and neglect and that He would fight the spiritual battles in the lives of these children and their families to allow full healing of the family unit as God designed it, according to His perfect will.
Please reach out with any questions on how to walk alongside our families caring for the vulnerable!

“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”
James 1:27 ESV
Hey all! We are the Ladlee family. We have four adult boys and three grandchildren whom we adore greatly! We have been fostering for nine years and have been blessed with some wonderful children. We are foster to adopt but that has not been Gods plan, yet! We have loved a total of 40 kids in all so far, and our motto is God’s not done with us, so we will continue the calling. We now have a wonderful support group and I’m so proud to call them family and friends. To God be the glory!
I ask for prayers while we are being called to serve! I pray that all these children who enter our home know nothing but love and peace. I pray for peace and comfort in our home. I pray that thru each battle we do not turn our eyes from God. I pray that we seek him in all things and rejoice with glee when all of this is obtained. Just as he loved us, we shall love in return.
We are the Crawfords! We started our foster care journey a few months ago and had a few kiddos in our home during the time we were open. Due to personal reasons, we put our home on hold and would love prayer for direction for our family in this time of pause and rest.
We are Drew and Chelsi Beard, married for 20 years and blessed with three children. Jesus Christ is the center of our family, and His love moves us to serve and love others well.
We are in the beginning stages with DHS and are currently partnering with the McElvany family to provide respite care. Through this, our hearts for fostering have grown even stronger as we’ve seen how love, safety, and stability can reflect the heart of the Father.
Hi All, We are the Harrison Family, Vic and Laura. We have been married almost 10 years and are the parents of two amazing daughters. Our foster care journey started in the spring of 2025 when we had the privilege of helping the Ladlee family with respite care for their foster babies. From there God took over and we became more active in the foster care ministry and in November we were given the opportunity to say YES! We took our first placement in November and God has truly been in control.
We have learned that when you say yes to God he will show you the most amazing things and truly all things are possible through him.
