Lives Changed, Stories Shared
Foster care is a journey of high highs and low lows. These are the unfiltered stories from the families and volunteers in our village.
The Belle-Poe Family
"Borrowed Hearts has been such a blessing to my family. I remember the joy on my kiddo’s face while shopping for new shoes—they felt so special and loved."
"We also enjoyed the pool party, which gave us such a sense of community and joy. Through it all, the kindness of the volunteers reminded me of God’s love in action serving others with open hearts."
"I truly thank God for Borrowed Hearts and the way He uses you to be the hands and feet of Jesus for families like mine."
The Hedges Family
Foster Parent (26 Years)"As a single foster parent for 26 years, I’ve seen Borrowed Hearts ensure every new placement arrives with dignity. Whether it's a coat in winter or a backpack for school, they ensure our kids have the confidence and essentials they need to thrive."

A Former Foster Youth
Alumni Story"She was in foster care from 14–18, and in some homes, everything was shared among several girls. But at Borrowed Hearts Owensboro, she got to pick out her own clothes and that meant the world to her."
"Now at 22, she wanted to give back. She was adamant that her clothes go to Borrowed Hearts because of the difference it made in her life."
It’s stories like hers that prove how much impact every single gift, donation, and hour of service can have.
A Volunteer's Perspective
"I started volunteering because I wanted to help, but I stayed because of the joy. Seeing a child's face light up when they find a pair of shoes that fits perfectly—that is a feeling you can't describe."
"This place is pure love in action. We don't just sort clothes; we sort dignity. Every hanger we hang is a message to a child that they matter."
