THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to uplift foster youth here in the United States and support children and families in places like Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Mexico and more to come.
Through partnerships, mission work, and ongoing support, we strive to bring stability, education, and hope to those who need it most. Every item you see below in our storefront is handmade in our home with intention and care.
50% of every purchase goes directly to our nonprofit, helping fund programs for foster youth and international ministries, while the remaining portion allows us to continue creating and growing this mission. We believe small acts can lead to meaningful change.
100% of all donations to our nonprofit are directed straight to foster resources and established communities throughout Central and South America, where funds are distributed according to each community’s specific needs. Our mission is to support and sustain these communities—not to alter or redirect cultures that are already thriving. Each community has the final say on where
all funding goes.
​
This support may include providing food for
foster and biological families, building homes,
funding international schools, improving
resources for teachers, working on budgeting
and financial stability with foster families
and more—wherever help is needed most.
When you shop with us below , you’re not just
buying a product— you’re becoming part of a
story that reaches far beyond your home.
Thank you for being here and for helping us
make a difference.
All of our gifts and products are handmade in our home by us. 50% of all product proceeds go directly into our non profit - the rest goes towards supplies to continue making these gifts you see below. 100% of all donations go directly into the nonprofit to provide financial stability for foster youth aging out of the system and to our youth ministries working in Central America.

Fostering Future Leaders
Wanderly Made is the dynamic business arm of our nonprofit, Wanderly Loved, and we’re on a mission to uplift foster youth in the States and young people in Central and South America.
We’re all about empowering these incredible kids through transformative initiatives that open doors to a brighter future whether by providing a stable home for foster children aging out of the system or by providing salaries for qualified teachers in tribal communities.
Our non profit wanderly loved
Our mission is centered on fostering both local and international engagements that aim to guide and equip youth with lifelong skills, along with essential resources for their growth as they transition out of their safety net.
Many young individuals exiting foster care find themselves lost, often cycling back through the system later in life due to a lack of guidance on budgeting and managing their newfound independence.
While international mission work typically addresses immediate community needs, our nonprofit collaborates with organizations to offer future financial and budgeting classes, maintenance after homes or utilities are established, and support to help families achieve stability even after mission teams depart.
get to know our partners
We have had the blessing to become involved within multiple different ministries across the States and in Central America. As foster parents ourselves, we have come to belong to Safe Children's Coalition and specifically work in Central and South Florida with children who come into the foster care system.
We work with an organization called Provee located in Guatemala and work with students on scholarship to progress their education after seventh grade. We also work with an organisation called New Vision School where they teach children within the Mayan Village of Rincon Grande from K to 6th grade.
We have a heart of giving back to our community and are excited that we get to continue our partnerships and hope to grow those organizations as we continue our own ministry.
