May is Foster Care Awareness Month. Today we honor the legacy of Tricia Lillard through Agape’s annual Love Like Tricia campaign.

Tricia fostered nearly 30 children and adopted two as her own, dedicating her life to caring for children in need. Today, the Tricia Lillard Endowment Fund continues that mission by supporting foster children and families pursuing adoption.

Help us continue her legacy by supporting the fund. 💜
