Johnston cont\u00f3 que cada vez que recib\u00edan una llamada, la preparaci\u00f3n era abrumadora.

Tiene un enfoque comunitario para apoyar a familias de acogida y parientes tutores en todo el estado. Su programa principal, Foster Care Kits, entrega kits a j\u00f3venes que entran al sistema de acogida en m\u00e1s de dos docenas de condados.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30946\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30946\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30946 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/descarga-33-1024x768.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30946\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Meghan McKinney \/ Iowa Public Radio.

Cualquier persona puede publicar en la plataforma los art\u00edculos que tiene disponibles para donar, y las familias interesadas pueden contactarlas directamente para recogerlos.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2750\" data-end=\"2871\">Schermerhorn explic\u00f3 que es intencional que el donante y el padre de acogida se encarguen directamente del intercambio.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2873\" data-end=\"3140\">\u201cSi tienes una cama individual para donar y decides hacerlo a trav\u00e9s de eQuip Hub, y vas a conocer a la familia y ves que son personas normales que est\u00e1n haciendo algo dif\u00edcil por un ni\u00f1o, espero que se pueda formar una relaci\u00f3n con esa familia\u201d, dijo Schermerhorn.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3142\" data-end=\"3207\">Las familias tambi\u00e9n pueden hacer solicitudes en la plataforma.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Conectando a la comunidad con las familias de acogida para cubrir necesidades<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3209\" data-end=\"3438\">Los padres de acogida deciden el rango de edad de los ni\u00f1os que pueden recibir. Por ejemplo, los Johnston prefieren cuidar ni\u00f1os de hasta 8 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3440\" data-end=\"3558\">Cuando empezaron a acoger, solo ten\u00edan literas y algunos juguetes, ya que nunca sab\u00edan cu\u00e1ndo recibir\u00edan la llamada.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3560\" data-end=\"3760\">La primera fue en agosto de 2019, para cuidar a un ni\u00f1o de 3 a\u00f1os. Jill Johnston recurri\u00f3 a amigos, familiares, su trabajadora social y recursos comunitarios para reunir lo necesario en pocas horas.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3762\" data-end=\"3844\">Dos meses despu\u00e9s, les llamaron por un beb\u00e9 de tres semanas y un ni\u00f1o de un a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3846\" data-end=\"4038\">\u201cEsos dos beb\u00e9s llegaron a mi casa como a las 10 de la noche entre semana, y nosotros est\u00e1bamos armando la cuna a esa hora porque la llamada lleg\u00f3 apenas unas horas antes\u201d, record\u00f3 Johnston.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4040\" data-end=\"4217\">Cont\u00f3 que, una vez m\u00e1s, su comunidad respondi\u00f3: ayudaron a encontrar y pagar cunas, f\u00f3rmula, pa\u00f1ales y asientos para el auto.

Sin embargo, esos pagos suelen llegar despu\u00e9s de un mes o m\u00e1s.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4514\" data-end=\"4597\">Schermerhorn se\u00f1al\u00f3 que <em data-start=\"4538\" data-end=\"4549\">eQuip Hub<\/em> ayudar\u00e1 a cubrir esas necesidades inmediatas.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4599\" data-end=\"4801\">\u201cT\u00fa te est\u00e1s preocupando por cuidar a un ni\u00f1o que acaba de pasar por un trauma muy fuerte.
