A Proud Partnership with Maricopa Community Leaders Joining our🎄2026 CHRISTMAS SUPPORT CAMPAIGN & Event ❤️ A Partnership That Started with Family

  

Joe and Celeste Templin — Owners of Joe’s: A Barber Shop and Beloved Members of the Maricopa Community — have joined forces with Helping Others Like Me! to help make our Very First "Foster Care Christmas Event" Truly Special.

 
 

Their support means the world to us; and their involvement is already inspiring others to give, donate, and spread hope this holiday season.

Joe and Celeste have been more than community partners — they are our friends. Friends who stood by our family from the very beginning when we became kinship foster parents to our three young granddaughters. They were the first to rally the community on our behalf, and they stepped in to support us personally as well. Their generosity, leadership, and heart for the people of Maricopa are a big part of why Helping Others Like Me! exists today — and why our Christmas Event means so much.

📦 A donation drop box will be available soon at Joe's: A Barber Shop, 44480 44480 W Honeycutt Rd Ste 101, Maricopa, AZ 85138. Please check back for the official date and times.

 

🎅🎄🎁 Helping Others Like Me! Christmas Event for Foster Care Children is coming soon! We’ll be announcing the official date and time shortly — and we’re thrilled to share that this year’s Celebration will be hosted at Joe’s: A Barber Shop. Get ready for an Unforgettable Day of Joy, Community, and Christmas Presents for Children who deserve to feel the Magic of the Season!


💝 We will be announcing dates and times for our Christmas Donation Events soon. These drop‑off events will give everyone a chance to bring Christmas Presents and other items for Foster Children.

 

 And as always, you’re welcome to make a financial donation on our website if that makes your giving easier. 💝 



🎄 CHRISTMAS SUPPORT CAMPAIGN 2026 - "Together, We Can Make Christmas Brighter for Every Foster Child"

 Bringing Joy, Comfort, and Hope to Foster Children This Holiday Season 

Donate & Be a Christmas Miracle ✨

“Making Christmas Brighter for Foster Children in Need”

The holidays can be an especially difficult time for foster children, children in crisis, and the families who care for them. Many are navigating trauma, financial strain, and uncertainty — and Christmas often brings added pressure when families simply want to give their children a moment of joy. 

"Sharing Love, Hope, and Joy with every Foster Child this Christmas"

This year, Helping Others Like Me! is launching our 1st Christmas Support Campaign. Our mission is to ensure every child receives a gift and feels loved, remembered, and celebrated — just as God intended.

🎁 Christmas gifts for foster children and children in crisis 

🍽️ Holiday meals for families experiencing financial hardship 

💖 Special support for foster parents/caregivers, adoptive foster families, and crisis‑placement homes 

🎄 Warm, meaningful holiday experiences that remind children they matter 💞

"Your Generosity brings light into homes that need it most!"

Together, we can make Christmas brighter for every child.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support foster children, children in crisis and the families who care for them by providing affordable, reliable, and compassionate help when it’s needed most. We exist to lighten the financial and everyday burdens that come with giving these kids a better life, so families can focus on what truly matters — creating stability, hope, and a safe place to grow.

 

We are also striving to help young adults transitioning out of foster care or residential behavioral health systems who may experience housing instability or poverty or who may be at risk of human trafficking, substance abuse, or mental health challenges.

Everyone deserves a place to call Home❤️

The Heart of Helping Others Like Me!

🌟 Vision Statement

Our vision is to ensure that every foster child, every child in crisis and every foster family has the support they need, exactly when they need it — without the stress, the financial pressure, or the feeling of having to do it all alone. 

Our Values

 

1. Compassion First

We lead with understanding. Every foster child and every foster family carries a story, a struggle, and a hope. We show up with empathy, patience, and genuine care in everything we do.

2. Support Without Judgment

Families shouldn’t have to explain why they need help. We believe in meeting people where they are — no shame, no questions, just support when it’s needed most. 

3. Affordability With Integrity

We know the financial strain foster families face. Our services are built to be fair, transparent, and accessible, because giving a child a better life should never push a family to the breaking point. 

4. Community Over Everything

We believe it takes a village — and we’re proud to be part of that village. Our work strengthens families, neighborhoods, and the future of the children who depend on all of us. 

5. Respect for Every Child and Every Family

Every child deserves dignity. Every family deserves to be treated with honor. We serve with respect in every interaction, no matter how big or small the task.

6. Purpose Before Profit

We’re driven by mission, not money. Our goal is to lighten the load for families doing the hard, beautiful work of giving foster children a chance to thrive.

Our Cause

We are building a lifeline for families who are doing everything they can to give foster children and children in crisis stability, dignity, and a real shot at a better life.
