Adapting to pandemic conditions: covid-19 has aggravated the difficult work of finding & maintaining stable homes for the United States’ 400,000+ foster children. The mechanisms of foster care vary by state—sometimes by county—but many of the same threats loom over each location.

Think about how you can help.

Neglect is the #1 reason children are removed from their biological home, followed by parental drug use.

What happens to kids during childhood shapes who they become as adults.

Children living through abuse and violence, unnecessarily suffer the ill effects of this trauma for the rest of their lives.

If neglect and drug abuse are the main reasons children are removed from their homes, then positive parenting, asking for help, and protecting our children is the solution.

Children who are nurtured and supported throughout childhood are more likely to thrive and develop into happy, healthy and productive adults

Merry Christmas! Have a healthy and joyous holiday season. Wishing you and better 2021

Fun and worthy cause.
