Ali and Noddy reflect on the costly love of foster care and how it takes all of us to lean into a problem that shouldn’t exist in our world but does.

Ali and Noddy’s journey into foster care was quite a long one. Through obedience and continually coming back to Jesus, they are opening their home to children and seeking to demonstrate the kind of love He’s given them.

They can’t do it alone; it takes community and they’ve relied on the support of people around them, which comes in different ways. It takes all of us and if we lean in, it might just change a child’s life for the better.

We’re not all called to be Foster Carers, but we can all do something to support those who are.
