The NeedIt's well known that many foster children are removed from their homes for any number of reasons; because of that, they often have few—if any—belongings with them. As these children move through the system, their things are put in trash bags and shuffled from home to home. We can do better.

The ProgramFostering Love is a program I started for foster children in my county, but it has since grown into a nationwide effort—providing bags of necessities, along with a reassurance so many of these kids desperately need. There are people out there who see them, people who care about them and their future.
