Madi's Movement

🌪️ Hurricanes Helene and Milton may have passed, but the devastation they left behind is far from over. 🌪️ Our foster teens have lost everything—homes, clothes, food, and the stability they’ve worked so hard to maintain. Many have no family or support system to turn to. They’re in dire need of essential items just to make it through the day. 💙 We’ve been on the ground, tirelessly delivering emergency essentials like food, clean clothes, and hygiene kits to those who need them the most. But the need is still overwhelming. Transportation is one of the biggest barriers. Without reliable ways to get to work or school, these teens risk losing their jobs and falling even further behind. 🛒 We’ve stocked up at Costco and started distributing supplies to the hardest-hit foster teens, but we can’t do this alone. Your support is critical. Every dollar ensures we can keep delivering these essentials. 🚗 Help us provide transportation, clean clothes, and food to those who’ve lost everything. 🌟 Donate now at https://gofund.me/9dd76ad1, or DM us for the direct link. Together, we can rebuild lives. 💪 #SupportFosterTeens #FloridaHurricaneRelief #RebuildTogether #FloridaStrong #HurricaneHelene #HurricaneMilton #Florida #Tampa #FosterTeens #MadisMovement #DonateNow #Helene #Hurricane #FosterCareReality #EndTheCycle #FosterYouthSupport #SupportFosterTeens #FosterCareJourney #FosterCareAwareness #FosterYouthAwareness #FosterCareSystem #FosterParents #FosterParent #FosterParenting #FosterCare #Foster #NonProfit #MakeADifference #FYP #NonProfitOrganization #TampaBay

For 19-year-old Jake, that nightmare became a reality. Just 26 days after aging out of foster care and starting his journey toward independence, Hurricane Helene struck—and in one devastating blow, Jake lost his home, his car, his school supplies, and everything he had...except for a backpack with a single change of clothes. Jake worked hard to stand on his own two feet, but now he—and so many other foster teens like him—are facing homelessness with no government support and no family to lean on. But YOU can help them rebuild. $25 gives a teen a hot meal. $100 provides groceries for a week. $500 replaces a bed lost in the storm. These foster teens have been through enough. Now, they need us more than ever. Your donation could be the difference between sleeping on the street or having a safe place to rest. Will you be their lifeline? Donate now and help Jake, and teens like him, rebuild their lives. Every dollar brings them closer to hope, stability, and a brighter future. 💙 Click the link in our bio to make an immediate impact. 🔗https://gofund.me/d20ee171
