Fayetteville, NC-We Need You!

🚨 FAYETTEVILLE — WE NEED YOU. 🚨
Right now, there are children in our own community with nowhere to go tonight.
Not “somewhere out there.” Here. In Cumberland County.
We’re Shannon & Kelsey Battle, founders of Family Services of America — and for the first time in 15 years, we’re turning away children because we don’t have enough homes. That stops today.
You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be wealthy. You don’t even have to commit long-term.
✨ Just one weekend a month can change a child’s entire life. ✨
That’s what respite care is — temporary, flexible, life-changing. A safe room. A warm meal. A weekend of “you matter.”
If you’ve ever thought “I wish I could do something” — this is the something. 🤍

Tag someone who has the heart for this. Share this post. A child’s tomorrow depends on the people who scroll past today — don’t be one of them. 🙏🏽

Charlotte, we’re here. 🤍

This new location didn’t happen overnight. It happened through obedience. Through patience. Through choosing unity in marriage even when the process felt slow.

There were moments we wanted it faster. Bigger. Sooner.
But God doesn’t open doors because you’re in a rush. He opens them when you’re ready.

Family Services of America is expanding in Charlotte, North Carolina… and this is proof that when you honor God’s timing and protect your marriage, the doors will open.

What door are you trusting Him for right now?

🚨 Attention North Carolina Residents 🚨

We keep having to say no to children…
because too many adults haven’t said yes to fostering.

Right now, children in our communities need safe, stable homes. They don’t need perfect people. They need committed ones.

Every time a licensed foster home is unavailable, a child faces more disruption, more uncertainty, and more trauma. We can change that — together.

At Family Services of America, we:
✔️ Provide competitive reimbursement rates
✔️ Offer training and ongoing support
✔️ Walk with you every step of the process
✔️ Create a team around you so you’re never doing this alone

But we cannot open doors for children unless families open their homes.

Say yes to stability.
Say yes to impact.
Say yes to being the reason a child feels safe tonight.

📞 Call 910-860-9787 today.
Let’s keep North Carolina’s children in stable homes.
