The most recent data shows that 39% of #FosterCare cases per year are due to parental drug or alcohol abuse. However, many parents who struggle with #Addiction can and do fight to overcome it. Patrick and Amanda were introduced to drugs by a neighbor during a challenging time. But when their children were removed, they committed to doing everything in their power to bring them home. Today, Patrick and Amanda live in a safe and sober home with their children. They now work for our partner Restore Hope, the organization that helped them every step of the way, as advocates for parents in the same situation.

How did I get here? I'm feeling grateful to be part of system change that positively impacts families every day. Despite the challenges, the passion to make a difference and belief in the ultimate benefit to families drives us forward. Yesterday, we got to listen to direct feedback from families and community partners that confirmed the effectiveness of our collective work. Outcome data and firsthand experiences further validate the impact. It's all about the relationships and the families served. This is kingdom work, and I am committed to championing it for the betterment of families along with Restore Hope's national strategic philanthropic partner, For Others Collective. Thank you to leadership that continues to support the work being done in the communities.
