Okay friends, meet Zayden! 💖

This is the kiddo who had us smiling ALL morning last week, and now you get to meet him too! His Wednesday’s Child segment aired yesterday on @cbscolorado, and we’re so excited to share this special morning at TTP with you.

Zayden is waiting for his forever family, and we’d love for our community to help his story reach them. Take a few minutes to get to know him, then share this video with your friends and family. You never know who might be one connection away. Let’s rally around our newest friend! 💫

Thank you to @mekialaya, @raise.the.future, and Colorado Heart Gallery for inviting us to be a small part of something that means so much.

THIS is what dreams are made of 💖

Tune in next Wednesday, 10/21 at 4pm on @cbscolorado to watch the newest Wednesday’s Child segment, filmed at The Third Place for Kids!!!

We are truly honored to be a small part of such a special and meaningful experience. Adoption and foster care are extremely close to our hearts and getting to know this kiddo made such an impact on us. The little friend we hosted today lit up the room with his infectious energy and kind heart, there was not a piece of equipment untouched by the end of his visit!

Thank you to @mekialaya for spending time with us today and thank you to @raise.the.future and the Colorado Heart Gallery for giving us this opportunity to make a difference in this kiddo’s life.

The segment will also be available to watch online after it airs, so please share it with your friends and family so we can help this kiddo find their forever family!
There is SO much power in community. Let’s rally behind our newest friend and make magic happen! 💫

Just your friendly neighborhood TBRI practitioner, here to remind everyone that behavior is communication, connection comes before correction, and sometimes the solution is literally a snack. 😂🫶🏼

Another year of unforgettable memories at Nightmare on 13th! 👻

Our foster families shared a night of laughs and screams! From the pre-party to the haunted house, every thoughtful detail helped make the evening feel extra memorable.

We’re so grateful to Raise the Future and the incredible team at Nightmare on 13th for creating another amazing experience for our foster families. Thank you for showing up in such a meaningful way.

Another amazing event with SME ❤️ so incredibly thankful for partnerships that allow us to do this. MS+E had almost 100 kids at America first field to play soccer on the big league field, we got to meet players for autographs, then treated us to dinner inside the Interform club ❤️I get to call this “work”.

✈️🍧 Boeing Family Day was ALL that! 💙

We were so excited to bring Snowie out and be a part of such an awesome day with the Boeing team and their families! There’s honestly no better match than Snowie + Family Day — keeping everyone cool, smiling, and having a little fun together. 😎🍧

And we have to say… Snowie might be perfect for a Boeing event, because we know Boeing has to be pretty perfect too! When you’re building airplane parts that are going to take people thousands of feet into the sky, there’s definitely no room for “close enough.” 😉✈️

It was so cool seeing the kids running around, families spending time together, and everyone enjoying a beautiful day. These are the kinds of events we LOVE being a part of! ❤️

Thank you, Boeing Salt Lake, for having us! We’re already looking forward to the next one! ✈️🍧💙

Today reminded me, once again, why I love my job. Staff along with volunteers came together and assembled backpacks for kids involved in our programming. We were able to put together 55 personalized backpacks and 7 extra backpacks that will find homes soon. Thank you to all those who donated, it will be something special for these kiddos and a huge weight lifted for their caregivers! #backpackdrive #RaisetheFuture #2026schoolyear📚✏️
