Be the Source

When you're sporting your Be the Source merch, we want to see it!

If you're visiting the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland whilst sporting your Be the Source merch, we REALLY want to see it! Thanks to this local foster mom for sending in this amazing picture.

Here's to another year of clean and dry babies thanks to our longtime partners and friends at HomeAid Colorado. For the 9th year in a row, we were blessed to be a distribution agency for their annual Builders for Babies event where they challenge local home builders to see which builder can collect the most diapers and wipes. Those diapers are then distributed to local nonprofits to distribute to their clients. We are grateful to be included!

Thank you, Homeaid, and to all the participating builders for helping us serve children and families experiencing child welfare across Colorado!

"We may not be able to get our child to stop lying altogether but we can make them feel safe enough to trust us with the truth in some capacity."

That's one of many insights foster and kinship caregivers shared with us after watching "The Truth about Lying: Understanding Lying as a Trauma Behavior" with our friend Robyn Gobbel - Trauma, Toxic Stress, & Baffling Behaviors.

This class in now on demand in the Learning Source here:

We are so blessed to be a community partner of the Colorado Rockies. This partnership allows our families experiencing child welfare to request tickets through us to attend certain games throughout the season.

Please only request tickets if you KNOW you can attend the game.

REQUEST TICKETS: https://forms.gle/V9r9W53VUT2b7oX9A
Deadline to request tickets for JUNE/JULY is this Friday, June 19 at noon.

***You must have a smart phone to request tickets as all tickets will be distributed electronically. ***

Things to remember:

-The ticket requests are exactly that - requests. The Rockies do their best to accommodate us, and we know soon after the deadline each month what tickets we are able to receive.
-Children 2 & under can sit on a lap. Children 3+ require a ticket.
Most importantly, go Rockies!
