Often we forget about the stories and traumas of the foster youth that are represented in our community. The stories of the youth may not affect us as much because maybe the foster care system isn’t something you are impacted by. But I want to petition you to think of something you are impacted by that has completely shaped or changed you or someone you love and how a meaningful relationship positively influenced the situation or outcome: depression, anxiety , motherlessness, fatherlessness, abuse.

Well oftentimes foster youth have been impacted by all of the above and more by elementary age and sometimes younger. Think about how your heart to come along side a youth who’s experienced a fraction of these hardships in their life can be changed for the better.

Youth aging out of Foster Care need support.

The Case for Providing Guaranteed Income to Kids Aging out of Foster Care With soaring unemployment, stagnant wages, and historic income inequality, the transition from living at home to financial independence is often a long and arduous one, and perhaps impossible without a family safety net. That transition is even more difficult for children in foster care.
