Keeping Kids Connected

Keeping Kids Connected helps military children build strong relationships with their parents, grandparents, and God. These unsung heroes of the military face unique challenges and make significant sacrifices, even though they do not choose to serve. Their frequent separations from loved ones strain relationships and affect their well-being. We are deeply moved by their challenges and committed to keeping them connected and thriving, wherever their service takes them.

Our Mission

At Keeping Kids Connected, we are dedicated to:

​

  1. Fostering Long-Distance Bonds: Helping military children maintain and deepen their connections with parents, grandparents, and extended family members despite physical distance.

  2. Building Strong Foundations: Supporting their personal development and laying the groundwork for future success.

  3. Nurturing Spiritual Growth: Assisting in the establishment of a meaningful relationship with God and ensuring they stay engaged with their faith community.​

​

We are here to support military children in staying connected and thriving, no matter where in the world their family’s service takes them.

​

To achieve our mission, we are gifting military kids with personalized and customized, yearlong adventure stories featuring their loved ones through The "Adventures Of" Series. This unique and interactive experience strengthens bonds, deepens relationships, and reminds the child that their parent is always thinking of them and loves them.

Military Kids Suffer

Outpatient mental health visits provided to children of active-duty parents doubled from one to two million.

Children in military families experience high rates of mental health, trauma, and related problems. About 30% reported feeling sad or hopeless almost every day for 2 weeks during the past 12 months. Nearly 1 in 4 reported having considered suicide.

43% of parents rated at least one child’s mental health as “fair,” “poor,” or “very poor.”

Behavioral changes include lashing out in anger, worry, hiding emotions, disrespecting parents and authority figures, feeling a sense of loss, depression, and school issues.
