The dilemma is clear: There are too many children and too few homes. As a result foster parents across the nation are asked to take on more than they can handle, leading to multiple children being packed into a single home, oftentimes not getting the individual attention they need to thrive.
What We’re Doing
Over the next three months we will be actively looking for ways to help children in the foster care system, talking to workers, writing articles to inform, and putting together ways that you can help a foster child near you.
We’re also creating a line of merchandise for you to purchase. A portion of every purchase will go towards the initiative for this campaign, to assist the CASA/GAL organization.
Amending My Past While Fostering The Future
I grew up in a suburb of Sacramento, California, which ranges from million-dollar homes to low-income apartment complexes, separated by only a few streets. Our family was financially secure but not wealthy by any means. The schools that my siblings and I attended were - you could say - good enough. If we had it better or worse than another family, we wouldn’t have known. All the kids in my class wore hand-me-down clothes and participated in after-school programs just like I did.
How To Find Donation Opportunities For Foster Care
Much like trying to find volunteer opportunities near you can be tricky, finding a reputable place to give your monetary donation can also be tough. Here are some organizations that we’ve found for you to consider.
Michael’s Journey In Foster Care
It’s not all happiness and sunshine. My wife and I have children with disabilities, emotional struggles, PTSD, and a slew of other setbacks, but they are ours and we wouldn't ever give them up for anything.
