#FosterOurFuture
Every child in foster care needs a Friend.
Right now, there are 72,429 children ages 4 to 6 in foster care. This is the age at which we select and invite children to enroll in our program. Each child can be empowered with the support of a Friend – a paid, professional mentor – who stays with them from kindergarten through high school graduation – 12+ years, no matter what.
Join us during National Foster Care Month to support youth like William*, a bright, vibrant third grader who loves sports. William was selected for our program from foster care – he's experienced many foster care homes, multiple school changes, and more transitions than most of us experience in a lifetime. He's dealing with more challenges right now, given school closures and required social isolation. Thankfully, he has his Friend, Josh. Josh is working hard to continue supporting William, being the constant presence in his life, no matter what. They are talking on the phone and through video chats, sharing about everything that's going on, completing school work, and continuing to build a relationship based on love, trust, and hope for the future. Please help us maintain the strong foundation and support our children and families need right now.
