Resilient Kids Resource Kits are personalized, trauma-informed support kits created specifically for children of military service members and veterans. Each kit is thoughtfully tailored based on a child’s age, emotional needs, and sensory preferences—ensuring every item is meaningful, appropriate, and supportive.

​

Availability & Sponsorship

At this time, Resilient Kids Resource Kits are not part of our core-funded programs and are only available through individual and community sponsorships.

Because of this, these kits are not included on our standard request forms. Distribution is dependent on available sponsorships and funding.

As additional funding becomes available, we look forward to expanding access to more families in need.

​

What’s Inside the Kit?

Every kit is customized, but may include:

• Age-appropriate coping and resilience cards

• A weighted blanket

• Sensory tools for stress and anxiety

• Comfort items such as plush toys or worry stones

• Mindfulness and breathing activities

• Educational materials to help children understand and manage emotions

• ​

Who Can Receive a Kit?

Children who have a parent or guardian who is a service member or veteran and who may be experiencing stress, anxiety, or emotional challenges, are eligible for a sponsored kit.

​

How the Program Works

These kits are available only through sponsorship. Each child’s kit is funded by a caring adult, family, or organization who donates to cover the cost of assembling a personalized resource kit designed to meet the child’s unique needs. Sponsorship ensures that every child receives meaningful, supportive items—not generic, one-size-fits-all materials.
