Heather Biddinger-
“Nine kids a month need: new supplies, new clothes, new bags. I want them to say, ‘These are my clothes!’ I am going to embrace this foster journey with confidence.”
How can I help?
Due to these reports of kids in the system they do need new clothes they grow often foster parents face many challenges with multiple services therapies visits from caseworkers transporters casa gal visits with parents and many siblings are split up and have sibling visits on a weekly routine
What can we do?
Foster1 with your help can provide a extra support to foster kids by providing new items to the average of 9 a month that gets removed for safety reasons and needs a temporary home.
Also another part of our vision is to help the 1,000+ kids a month in our side of town who could use more clothes because they are growing and thriving kids.
