August probably has you thinking about beach days or barbecues. But it’s also #makeawillmonth. This August, consider joining a growing circle of YGB supporters who bolster our work and help ensure nobody ages out of foster care alone by including YGB in your estate planning. Our staff works tirelessly to ensure that every child in foster care has the opportunity to find a forever home, no matter their age. And we rely on generous contributions- including planned giving- from people like you to make it possible! 💙 Here's why planned giving is so important: 1️⃣ Ensuring a legacy: By making a planned gift, you leave behind a legacy that continues to impact the lives of foster youth for years to come. Your generosity can provide them with the love, stability, and support they deserve. 2️⃣ Financial benefits: Planned giving can offer significant tax advantages and financial benefits for you and your loved ones. It's a win-win situation where you can support a cause you care about while also taking care of your own financial future. 3️⃣ Empowering foster youth: Your planned gift can empower foster youth by giving them the chance to experience the love and stability of a forever family. It's a gift that can change their lives forever. What could be better? So, as you consider your estate plans this month, please think about including You Gotta Believe. Together, we can make a difference and ensure all foster youth find the loving families they deserve. 💕 If you'd like more information on how to make a planned gift or support You Gotta Believe's mission, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/ep7qKcuA

From foster care to NFL success, Bills running back Ray Davis inspires on and off the field. “Everybody congratulates me for the football part of it, and that’s great, getting to the NFL and all that. But I’m an inner-city kid, a foster-care product who graduated from a top-15 school in the country. I feel like that’s what we should be celebrating. I never once thought I’d ever get into a school like Vanderbilt.” - Ray Davis Ray, we see your tremendous success! We're proud of you and grateful for your leadership! Thank you for sharing your story! #CriticalMessengers #SuccessStory #FosterCare #NFL #Inspiration #Leadership
Ray Davis grew up homeless, now he seeks to be a 'name you'll remember forever'
