When Elizabeth Savage and her family first became foster parents, they quickly went from having no children to having three in under six months. Over the years, the Savages have grown to six children, including foster, adopted, and biological children. During the holiday season, the family found support and joy through Motion for Kids, an event hosted by the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis (BAMSL) and the St. Louis Bar Foundation, which matches sponsors from the St. Louis legal community with families to provide personalized gifts to children affected by the justice system or foster care. For families like the Savages, the event brings holiday cheer to children and offers vital community support to the foster families caring for them.
About Motion for Kids:
For over 30 years, Motion for Kids has partnered with the St. Louis legal community and local organizations to provide gifts to thousands of children each year, supporting those in foster care or with parents affected by the justice system. Volunteers and sponsors ensure each child receives personalized gifts, helping foster families during the holidays and creating moments of joy and inclusion for children who may feel overlooked. The organization demonstrates the power of community in supporting children and families in the foster care system.
