Helping the Tislands

This campaign is for Kole and Hanna Tisland, who have guardianship of Kole's two nieces and nephew. As of February 3rd they would have been in the Tislands care for 18 months.

Skye, Tidus, and Karra were removed from their home and parents' custody, in Oklahoma, on August 3rd 2023 due to Felony Child Neglect and drug abuse. They were in DHS care shortly then placed into a foster home for just about a month before Kole and Hanna were able to get them to bring them home here in Minnesota.

The children suffered severe neglect, were malnourished, and at least one child was SA. Their story has been a hard one. While under Kole and Hanna's care, they have shown great progress.

Kole and Hanna are having to travel back to Oklahoma next week and appear in front of a judge. The biological parents are trying to terminate guardianship and take the children back early, before their court ordered program has been completed.

Please help lift some of the burden from the Tisland's shoulders by contributing if you can. They have received minimal financial help from the state during this, and are straining to afford the trip costs and legal fees.

As always, prayers are the best thing you can do and are so appreciated.

Update #1

April 8th, 2025

First off I want to say thank you to every single person who gave to our campaign! We managed to get Oklahoma in February. The parents went from trying to terminate us to trying to find someway of moving forward. So a temporary court order was put into place. 


The court order was for the bios to have 3 video calls a week. One weekend visit in March here in Minnesota and then a weekend visit in April at their home in Oklahoma. 

That trip coming back was harsh and dangerous. We ended up having a car accident on some black ice in Des Moines, IA. Thankfully God's hand of prote tion was on us and we did make it home safely. 


Now we are planning to travel once again due to court mandate in April. Our trip will be for the weekend of the 25th. These trips and courts have been a huge financial drain on us. This will be our 4th trip in April and each trip has been about $1,500...


We do need help and appreciate our community 🙏 ❤️
