⚾️ THANK YOU to our friends at Lake Erie Crushers who donated tickets for our families to their game against the Florence Y'alls on fairytale night! Our families had a great afternoon singing with the princesses, running the bases, and meeting some of the players afterwards! For some of the kids in attendance, it was their very first time at a baseball game! 🌟 Thank you again to Lake Erie Crushers for allowing us to provide our families with these amazing Summer memories! #LoveBox #Dare2Dream #Mentor #Foster #FosterCare #Community #Volunteer #GiveBack #GetInvolved #ChangeTheStats #ChangeTheirFuture #LakeErieCrushers #FairytaleNight #FlorenceYalls #NationalAngels #CLEangels

🎒Remember the excitement of back-to-school shopping? Picking out new clothes, a fresh backpack, and all the supplies? Perhaps you are in the middle of it now! Many youth in our Dare to Dream® program are working hard to work toward their diplomas or enter a post grad program. As kids prepare for back to school, consider sponsoring a few of their needed school items! Youth in foster care may not always have what is required by schools, or their caregivers are stretching dollars to meet a need. Let's give them a little boost as they prepare for the new school year! 🌟 If we meet our goal, we will directly impact 35 YOUTH in the Cleveland community. There are many ways you can help! ✏️ Purchase items off our Amazon Wishlist https://lnkd.in/gurVwTXy where each young person has chosen what they need -- most items on the wishlist are under $15! If you can't decide -- or would like to give an opportunity for them to choose something else, you can also buy an amazon gift card of any amount. OR ✨ Donate https://lnkd.in/gMBEsuuS any amount toward fulfilling their wishes! ➡️ Don't forget to share this opportunity with others who might want to get involved, and remember, each gift is not only a practical support, but an encouraging message that you believe in their future. Every pencil and dollar helps foster kids start the school year right! #LoveBox #Dare2Dream #Mentor #Foster #FosterCare #Community #Volunteer #GiveBack #GetInvolved #ChangeTheStats #ChangeTheirFuture #2024Graduates #Classof2024 #AmazonWishlist #AngelAlly #NationalAngels #CLEangels

💙 Mentors know that words matter, but listening matters more. "P'aisley* disclosed that she has been in three separate foster homes since she entered the system at the age of 10. She talked about the body shaming she experienced...I shared some personal experiences I had with body shaming...But more importantly, we talked about how it is more so a reflection on the person doing the shaming, and how those words are weaponized. I think she really appreciated that her feelings were validated when she shared her deeply personal experience with me...and I think she enjoys spending time with me. We are having fun." *Name changed for privacy. ➡ Together, we can make a lasting impact. Join us in our mission to change the stats and create a brighter tomorrow for all!
