#FlashbackFriday to our unforgettable Dinner for a Cause event with the amazing Nika King at Eddie V's Prime Seafood! It was a night filled with hope, inspiration, and a shared commitment to foster youth. If you haven't had the chance yet, we encourage you to watch Nika's film, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, now available for purchase on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. This powerful true story follows the journey of Donna and Reverend Martin, who courageously ignite a fire within their rural church community to embrace foster children who often go overlooked. Their dedication to giving these kids a chance at love and belonging is a testament to the impact we can make when we come together for a cause. We are incredibly grateful to Nika for using her platform to advocate not just for our organization but for all foster youth. Your passion and support shine a light on the importance of community and the need for every child to feel valued and loved. Thank you for inspiring us all to make a difference!
