Six-year-old Jordan loves basketball so much! Thanks to Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation's donors, he gets to play on a team. In fact, his team is in first place and so far, he has a season high of 18 points in one game! There are thousands of kids in foster care in Arizona, like Jordan, who just want to do every day, normal kid things. But they can’t because of a lack of funding. You can help them experience a sense of normalcy, just by making a foster care tax credit donation to AFFCF.

Remember Anthony, a young man in our Keys to Success program? We told you about him last June after he graduated high school. He is now attending EVIT, where he is in the Electrician Program. We’re thrilled to share that Anthony recently received a $12,000* BrandSource scholarship to alleviate the financial burdens specifically associated with securing a trade certification, license and/or vocational degree. The scholarship also gives recipients access to personal mentorship and career development services. Help us congratulate Anthony – leave a comment for him below! *The amount of the scholarship was increased from $10K to $12K after the check in the photo was printed. #FeelGoodFriday #affcf40thanniversary #40years #40yearsofchangingthestory #fostercare #impact #changethestory #childhoodactivities #keystosuccess #postsecondaryprograms #AFFCF #azffcf #azfostercaretaxcredit #fostecaretaxcredit

As we continue to recognize Hispanic Heritage Month, we want to share this lovely note that Juliana wrote to us in Spanish. Here’s a translation of what she wrote: “Hello, I’m pleased to meet you. My name is Juliana. I want to thank you for paying for camp. The truth is, you are a good person because there aren’t many people that would pay for camp. Thank you very much! May God bless your beautiful heart.” You can help children in foster care just like Juliana experience the joys of childhood by donating to Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation. Because we are a Qualifying Foster Care Organization, you can get a credit on your AZ state taxes, up to $1,173.
