Dear Belong Alabama Friends and Family,
We hope you will be able to join us for a fun filled day of sibling bonding and connection. We know how much our families look forward to spending time together - playing and celebrating together and sharing meals and games. We know that nothing can replace this physical time together; it is the very principle that Belong Alabama is built on. We are excited to be adding new programming to meet the needs of our community! Our goal is to provide multiple opportunities to support our families in the foster care system. We know that our community needs us, and we will rise to the challenge!
Thank you to those of you who completed volunteer applications, sibling registrations, and had committed to joining us. For those of you who are new to Belong Alabama, know that you are already a part of the "family" and we look forward to being together soon.
Thank you to our donors and supporters for being as committed to Belong Alabama’s vision as we are.
We appreciate you being a part of this journey with us. Together, we are resourceful, resilient, and ready for fun!
The reality for children living in foster care is not one often considered on a day to day level. The kids are shuffled between homes and separated from the people they know, including their brothers and sisters. Many do not have much to begin with, and may be living in a world surrounded by addiction, abuse and severe neglect. They are not always taught how to ride a bike or swim or thrown birthday parties with all their friends and family, rites of passage in childhood that many of us take for granted.
Belong Alabama is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to nurture the sibling bond by creating a safe space for siblings that have been or currently are separated in the foster care system.
At Belong Alabama we believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to spend meaningful time with their brothers and sisters and we are dedicated to helping make that happen for kids living in foster care. While many of us take for granted the opportunity to share meals, play games and see our siblings each day, the kids we serve at Belong Alabama cherish these small moments that they do not always have. These moments are what Belong Alabama works to create, so kids living in foster care are able to have positive childhood memories.
At Belong Alabama we also believe that every kid deserves a special place where they finally feel like they fit in and are not judged for being in foster care. We provide kids living in foster care a chance to escape the chaos of their ever changing worlds and come to a place where they are no different from everyone else, they belong and they can just be kids.
