TEAM GOLD’S GEMS

We’re back and looking to beat last years fundraising total. Every child deserves a loving and nurturing home.

As most of you know, all three of our kids came from the Foster Care System. With the help of the Iowa Foster and Adoptive Parents Association (IFAPA) we were able to provide them with a great home and were fortunate enough to be able to adopt them.

This is our fourth year participating in this event. Last year the Gold's Gems raised over $3500 and IFAPA as a whole raised nearly $20,000. Please join our TEAM and help us once again raise donations for this organization that plays a huge role in so many Foster and Adoptive Parents in Iowa, including the Goldstein's! If you can't join our TEAM then please help us by donating financially to Gold’s Gems.

We are stepping forward to help the kids in our community have the opportunity to thrive in a loving family. Join us in this endeavor and support the kids.

Greetings from the Goldstein Gang!!

Our lives, the lives of our family and the lives of over 20 children that have come into our home, have forever been changed by fostering.  This is our 9th year of fostering and five years since we adopted our first child.  We are hoping to continue our journey of fostering for more years to come.  Your direct donation helps us do this by providing training, supports, resources and the ability to care for more children living outside of their birth family.  There are over 5000 children in Iowa right now who do not get a hug and kiss every morning and night from their birth parents or feel the comfort of their own bed, toys and stuffed animals.  If you are unable to give financially this year, please consider praying for these children, their families and foster/adoptive parents, not only in Iowa but across the US. 

We are blessed to have a strong and supportive network of friends and family that have encouraged us along the way.  You are considered one of them....THANK YOU! 
Jesse Goldstein
