Be the One to Change 1
Every day, young people aging out of foster care reach out to us for help with the basics. They ask for food to get through the week, a safe place to sleep, a bus pass or gas card to make it to work, help covering rent, or support with clothes and household essentials for their first apartment. These aren’t extras, they’re the everyday needs that stand between survival and stability.
Your gift makes sure they don’t face adulthood alone.
