Family is important. Throughout his time in our Intercept program, Chris worked hard to overcome his circumstances and become a great parent to Kash.
Today, Chris and Kash have a strong relationship and enjoy spending time together. Kash is an honor roll student, and Chris continues to work full time to provide a happy and healthy home.

Gifts can be many things. For kids like Kash, it’s a gift to grow up at home with his dad. When Chris, Kash’s dad, was ready to make the changes to get his son out of foster care, @heartlandforchildren referred him to our Intercept intensive in-home services. For nearly four months, our team worked with Chris and Kash on getting to know each other and increasing the family bond.
Join us #GivingTuesday to help provide hope to children and families, like Chris and Kash. Facebook will match
