Support Foster Youth in Your Community
The Issue
Since opening our doors in 1958, we’ve had the privilege of supporting some of the most resilient and inspiring young people, foster children and youth who deserve every chance to thrive.
At our agency, and in collaboration with others, we work every day to create brighter futures for these children. Foster youth, especially those who’ve historically been overlooked or marginalized, deserve more than just a temporary place to stay. They deserve to be truly seen, understood, and supported as whole people with unique needs and limitless potential.
The reality is that some children, like Black youth, are disproportionately represented in the foster care system and often face additional barriers to finding lasting, loving homes. This is not just a statistic, it’s a call to action.
But children are not the only ones navigating this system. Many parents are actively working to reunify with their children, parents who are doing the hard, brave work of healing, learning, and rebuilding their lives. These parents often face significant challenges, including poverty, lack of access to services, and societal judgment. Yet despite these barriers, they press on with courage and determination, driven by love for their children. They, too, deserve our support, compassion, and advocacy.
The good news is that we can all be part of the solution. By offering financial, emotional, academic, or volunteer support to local foster care organizations, we help build a community that wraps around not only foster youth, but also the families striving to reunite and grow stronger. Whether it’s through mentorship, organizing events, or simply showing up with empathy, your involvement matters.
When we come together as a community to support and uplift foster youth and families, we send a powerful message: you are not forgotten. You are loved. And we’re here for you.
Please sign this petition to show your commitment to making a difference in the lives of foster youth and families in your community by contacting a foster care agency near you. If you're in Michigan, visit the MDHHS website. For all other states, search "foster care agencies near me" or visit your states DHHS website.
Your support can help bring stability, love, and opportunity to children, and hope and healing to the families working tirelessly to bring them home. Together, we can ensure that every child has the chance to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment, surrounded by people who care.
