Unless you see it up close, you can’t imagine how difficult it is for a parent to reunify with their kids who are in foster care. If you do see it up close, you know that parents are on their own after the system swoops in and removes their children. I have been a part of that system for over 30 years and made the decision to break out and create change through a new, brain-based case management model. With nothing but the proceeds from selling my camper, my husband and I started 4Sisters. Our Permanency Primers©️are experts in child welfare and have been extensively trained in this coaching model that is making a difference. How do I know it’s making a difference? Because parents are referring OTHER PARENTS! We are still new so the evidence gathering, but we see it every day. Through the recent award of an innovation grant by the Florida Deparment of Children and Families, we are evaluating the new model. We are restoring hope with every contact, which averages 10 per month per parent. As the saying goes, hope floats! What parents have now is this dismal statistic: less than 50% of children removed from their parents are reunified within 12 months as state and federal laws requires. Every bit helps us continue to move our new case management model move forward! Please INVEST in the future of families by INVESTING in us! ©️🩷

I am very grateful and proud of the Women's Initiative from TLC Engineering Solutions for supporting the Bag of Hope Project this month. The Bag of Hope initiative aims to provide the resources necessary for Foster Children aging out of the foster care system. Here are some studies that will help understand why these Foster Children need the help of the community. Some studies have estimated the cost of incarcerating youth who have been involved in the foster care system. The numbers are staggering when it comes to kids aging out of the care system without resources, often leading to homelessness or incarceration. For example, a 2016 report by the Juvenile Law Center estimated that in Pennsylvania, the cost of incarcerating a young adult who had been involved in the foster care system was approximately $324 per day, or $118,260 per year. The report noted that this cost is significantly higher than the cost of providing community-based alternatives to incarceration. According to a report by the Utah Juvenile Justice Working Group, the average daily cost of incarcerating youth in a Utah detention center was approximately $289 daily in 2018. This figure includes the cost of direct care and custody, education, and healthcare services. The state spends more than $8,000 per month on each youth incarcerated. What if we could avoid this situation in our community? This is the mission of the Hope Foundation for Foster Youth Housing. We want to be the support these young people need and provide them with the tools to become self-reliant, both physically and emotionally, as well as financially. Please, friends, if you can share and support our cause, you will make a difference in this nation. I am counting on you. As a former foster child myself, I know the challenges these young people face every day of their lives since being placed in the system and aging out. They need us. #BagOfHope #FosterCareSupport #YouthEmpowerment #CommunitySupport #HopeFoundation #AgingOut #EndYouthIncarceration #SupportOurYouth #ChangeLives #MakeADifference
This month our Women’s initiative is excited to support the Hope Foundation for Foster Youth Housing during their Bag of Hope Charity Event, providing vital resources to children transitioning in and out of the foster care system.

Did you know more than 6,000 Kansas children and teens are in the foster care system – with approximately 1,300 in Sedgwick County alone? Our community and these youth desperately need compassionate and caring families to open their hearts and homes. What difference could you make as a foster parent? When children and teens cannot live with their biological parents, you could bridge the gap to support the child's physical, emotional, and basic living needs. Some of these needs include food, clothing, shelter, and general care, in a safe and nurturing environment. Could you provide these resources? You have the power to change a child’s life. Find your fit and become a foster parent today: https://lnkd.in/g6eZ_tuG. #EmberHope #FosterCare #NonProfit #InspirePositiveChange #Donate #GiveAGift #ChangeALifeWithGiving #RespiteCare #FosterParents #BeTheOne2Foster #FosterCareKansas

Each year, approximately 900 youth will age out of the Arizona foster care system. Without an effective safety net and support network to guide them through the next chapter of their lives, the odds are not in their favor: - 40% will become homeless within 18 months of leaving care - 67% won't graduate high school - 50% won't have gainful employment by age 24 Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation is the critical safety and support network these youth turn to. Your donations are critical in helping to change their story by providing critical employment, education, and career development services so that they can transition successfully to independence. On this AZ Gives Day, transform a young person's life by donating to AFFCF: azgives.org/affcf. #ArizonaGivesDay #AZGivesDay #AFFCF #azffcf #fostercare #childhoodactivities #KeystoSuccess #postsecondaryprograms #affcf40thanniversary #40yearsofimpact #youwinkidswin

Foster children need your ongoing support Foster children often struggle with filling their ongoing needs, especially as they're growing. Like all kids, children in foster care need new shoes when their feet grow, new clothes when they wear them out, glasses, diapers, computers, school supplies, and nutritious food. So much of the time, these ongoing needs are a real challenge for foster parents or group homes to meet fully. You can help support the ongoing needs of a foster child through a monthly or yearly donation: $54 - Support a Foster Child For a Month $648 - Support a Foster Child For a Year You can change a foster child's life through your ongoing donations, helping provide essential goods and support for them.
