Postma Family : May 2026
May is here and it’s a busy one, but it’s never too busy to celebrate our monthly recipient for The Dollar Difference! This month we are blessed to come alongside the Postma family as they welcome a new child to their family.
The mom, Katie, shared :
“Hello! We are the Postma family, and we’ve been a foster family since 2011, welcoming many bonus family members into our home over the years. We have adopted two of our foster children, and we also have two biological children who are now adults.
Many of the children who have come into our care have had medical complexities, ranging from feeding difficulties, G tubes and NG tubes, to seizures, cerebral palsy, and more. Recently, we welcomed our first child with a tracheostomy who is dependent on a ventilator and supplemental oxygen. It has been a big learning curve, but he has been such an incredible addition to our family!
Because of his needs, there were many items that came highly recommended or were required to help us care for him safely and effectively. We are so very grateful for The Dollar Difference community, who generously supported us by purchasing items from our Amazon wish list…G tube covers, sheets, and even some toys he loved at the hospital but could not bring home.
They also gave financially, which allowed us to purchase a second crib for our living room, specialized monitors so we can keep a close eye on him, and storage for all of his medical equipment.
When we say “yes” to a child in need, especially one who has spent his first year in the hospital and has significant medical complexities, the required items add up quickly. When ministries like The Dollar Difference ask, “How can we help?” it is such a meaningful gift. It reminds us that we are seen and supported by a community that cares deeply about families like ours.
So truly, thank you! Thank you for supporting The Dollar Difference. Thank you for giving and helping families like ours continue to step into the hard and beautiful work of caring for vulnerable children. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus, we appreciate you more than we can say. Your support helps us keep going.”
