🏡 **HELP US SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT FOSTER CARE!** 💜

NECCO is looking for members of our community who would be willing to place a **yard sign** in their yard to help us recruit more foster parents!

You may not be in a position to become a foster parent yourself, but simply allowing us to place a sign in your yard could help connect a child in need with the loving home they deserve. ❤️

Every sign helps spread awareness. Every conversation matters. And you never know who may see that sign and feel called to open their heart and home to a child.

💜 **Would you be willing to host a NECCO Foster Parent Recruitment yard sign?**

Comment below or send us a message, and we’ll get one to you!

**It takes a community to change a child’s life. Let’s spread the word and help more children find safe, loving homes.** 🏡💜

The Impact You Don't Always See!

For those working in child welfare, it's easy to get lost in the daily challenges and wonder if you're making a difference. In this heartfelt reflection, Necco Kentucky State Director Cassie Dann shares how showing up for people in their hardest moments can leave a lasting impact, helping others feel seen, supported, and less alone. Sometimes the true impact of that work isn't visible until years later.

Supporting Therapists. Empowering Parents. Transforming Youth.

April shares the passion that first pulled her into foster care — and the purpose that keeps her here. She talks about the impact of supporting therapists through a trauma‑informed lens, helping them guide foster parents to understand the “why” behind a child’s behavior. April’s message builds to a powerful invitation: fostering can change a child’s life simply by giving them one trusted adult. Her story is a reminder that every act of support, every moment of understanding, can open the door to healing.
