Every Child Experiencing Foster Care Deserves a Soft Place to Land
No Child or Victim Should Spend Their Worst Day in a Cubicle.
As a faith-based nonprofit, we transform government offices into trauma-informed, comforting spaces for children experiencing foster care and victims of trauma.
Thousands of children experiencing foster care.
Many spend hours, and sometimes even nights, in sterile government offices after being removed from their home. Victims and survivors often face the same cold environments inside law enforcement agencies during moments of crisis, trauma, and uncertainty.
We believe every child and victim is made in the image of God and deserves dignity, comfort, and care during moments of crisis.
This is where Lily Pad steps in.
We partner with child welfare agencies, nonprofits, and law enforcement across South Carolina, Michigan, and beyond to transform cold offices into trauma informed spaces with soft lighting, cozy seating, sensory tools, books, toys, and comforting details designed to help children and victims feel safe, supported, and cared for.
Join us in creating soft places to land for children and victims during moments of crisis.

The Foster Care Crisis in America — By the Numbers
3,900
Children experiencing foster care in SC every single day.
Each one separated from family, school, and every comfort they’ve known. They didn’t choose this. But they’re living it.
2,160
Foster homes missing from the system in South Carolina.
SC needs over 2,000 more foster homes. Until then, children will keep spending nights in DSS offices instead of bedrooms.
57%
Children waiting in care longer than six months.
More than half wait, and wait, for a place to call home. Sometimes for years. Every day without belonging takes its toll.
Same Wait. Completely Different Story.
Because every child and victim deserves comfort on their hardest day.
Whether they’re waiting for a foster home, a sibling visit, or simply the next step, they deserve to feel safe and seen. A Lily Pad room transforms a sterile office into a place of calm, play, and care.
Before: A Cold, Endless Wait.
After: A Soft, Hopeful Space.
