Hi! My name is Hilary Patterson. If you are reading this you most likely know our family and some of our story over the last 2 years. We received our first “Fictive Kin placement” in May 2018. This is similar to a foster care placement but because Josh & I weren’t finished with trainings & classes they used the term Fictive Kin when referring to the placement of these beautiful children. Josh & I had felt called to foster it just came sooner than we had planned but we knew the Lord was calling us to care for these children.

I want to go back to when we signed the dotted line & the social worker left our house. It was almost immediate I found myself posting on Facebook. In search of bunk beds, clothes in specific sizes, superhero bedding, infant car seat, booster seats & shoes. Later that night when I got back online to check my post I found several comments from people all over city that cared about our family & wanted to meet the need.

The next day I came home from work to brand bunk beds put together in our spare room & the beds were made perfectly with superhero & princess bedding. There were diapers & wipes dropped off on the porch, brand new clothing & shoes. Not to mention a friend had put dinner in my fridge.

I say all of that to say the Lord provided for our family. He used people around us to meet our needs. We are very fortunate to have a huge support system when it came to providing a home for these precious children.

But there are other families in our city that do not have that support system, they don’t have an amazing church family or grandparents eagerly waiting to meet their “new grandkids”. There are families in this city that are taking in children every week that need help & that is where Borrowed Hearts Owensboro comes in. We are helping meet the needs of children in foster care.
But with that being said WE NEED HELP. We need financial means to meet these needs. I am starting a Gofundme the link is below. I am asking that you would give $10! Yes just $10! If you feel led to give more we would be forever grateful. If we have 100 people give $10 we would have $1,000 to help meet needs of kids in foster care. We help provide clothing, hygiene products, diapers, wipes, meals & much more at no cost.

I am a board member of Borrowed Hearts & would love to share more about our vision & other ways you or your business can get involved. Please private message me if you would like more information.
