In May, We Celebrate the Love, Strength, and Dedication of Caregivers!

At Diakon, May is a time to honor the love, strength, and sacrifice of all those who nurture, protect, and guide children and families. While Mother’s Day is at the heart of this month, we recognize and celebrate all who take on caregiving roles—in every form they may take.

We walk alongside many incredible caregivers, including:

• Foster and adoptive mothers who step in with open hearts

• Birth parents working hard to reunify with their children

• Kinship caregivers—often grandparents, aunts, uncles, or close family friends—who step in to raise children, sometimes unexpectedly

• Supportive partners and chosen family members who provide love, guidance, and stability

This month, as we also observe National Foster Care Month, we invite you to stand with the compassionate individuals who make healing and hope possible for children across our communities.

Your Support Makes a Real Difference

With your help, Diakon provides:

• Training and resources for foster and adoptive families

• Counseling and support for parents working toward reunification

• Essentials like car seats, clothes, and beds for families in need

• A strong, supportive network that surrounds every child and caregiver with love

Together, we can ensure every child has a safe, loving environment—and every caregiver feels seen, supported, and valued.
