PRESENTATION

Kaycee Stanley, Reel Hope Project 

Steve Wein introduced Kaycee Stanley, the Executive Director and Founder of Reel Hope Project.  Her goal is to make a video for every child in foster care who is waiting to be adopted. Reel Hope was launched in 2016 in Minnesota, and they are expanding their mission to serve kids across the country.

Kaycee’s organization works with each youth’s team to create a compelling video that celebrates the youth’s personality and unique qualities.  Social workers share the media with potential adoptive families, and Kaycee’s group shares the reels at weekly events, such as Rotary meetings.

Kaycee shared a video that described Reel Hope’s vision and activities, and we saw an example of their introduction of a child awaiting adoption.  Reel Hope is also working “upstream” to help parents avoid having to relinquish parental responsibility.

Kaycee’s parting request for us:

• Adopt a child. Use their website to start this process.
• Work Upstream. Connect with partner ministries to prevent kids from entering the system.
• Give. Consider donating to help bring kids home.
