June is National Homeownership Month! 🏠💙

While homeownership may feel far away for many foster care alumni, having a safe, stable place to call home is the foundation for everything else. And that's exactly what FAM is here to support.

FAM's Housing Program is specifically designed for foster care alumni — and it's been a cornerstone of our work for years. We've even had the privilege of walking alongside members as they've purchased their very first home. 🎉

This program focuses on:
✨ Securing and maintaining stable housing
✨ Limited financial support for deposits and rent assistance
✨ Money management and budgeting skills
✨ Creating a safe and nurturing home environment
✨ Meal planning and grocery shopping
✨ And other essential skills to help keep a steady place to call home

For many foster care alumni, learning these skills was nearly impossible while navigating placement changes, instability, and a system that rarely offered the consistency needed to build them. This program is designed to change that.

Stable housing isn't just a roof over your head. It's safety. It's dignity. It's the foundation from which you can build everything else.

We're so grateful to walk alongside our alumni on this journey. 💙

🎉 ALUMNI WIN 🎉

We are bursting with pride over here and just HAVE to share!

First up — one of our Members just landed a job as a Peer Coach! 🙌 This role is so fitting because lived experience is a superpower, and now they get to use theirs to support others. We love to see it!

And second — another Member just had an interview and is excitedly waiting to hear back! The courage it takes to put yourself out there, show up, and go after what you want? That's everything. We are rooting for you SO hard! 💙

To both of you: We are so proud of you. Keep going. Keep growing. The best is yet to come.

You matter. You are not alone. 💙

WISH WEDNESDAY ✨

Meet Dianna — an amazing mom who aged out of foster care and has built a life she should be incredibly proud of. She's independent, highly organized, and always finds ways to show up for the people around her. Even as a single mom, she keeps pushing forward.

Right now, Dianna is asking for something simple but meaningful: a door camera to help keep herself and her daughter safe in their apartment.

A camera at their front door would give her peace of mind, help her monitor who's coming and going, and create a more secure home for her little family.

That's it. That's the wish. And you can make it happen.

👉 Grant Dianna's wish here → https://www.onesimplewish.org/wish/view-wish?id=207899

Every share and donation counts. Let's rally around Dianna and show her she's not alone.

These moments. 💙

At the Starfish Gala, we heard from alumni who shared their journeys—the challenges they've faced, the growth they've experienced, and the futures they're building.

Their courage to stand up and share their stories reminded everyone in the room why FAM exists and why this community matters so much.

To our alumni who shared: Thank you for your vulnerability, your honesty, and your strength. You inspired every single person in that room.

To everyone who listened: Thank you for holding space for these stories and for showing our alumni that they're seen, valued, and celebrated.

This is what community looks like. This is what happens when people show up for each other.

We're so grateful for this FAMily. 💙

Happy Monday, FAMily! 💙

This week, we want to remind you: You're building something amazing.

Every choice you make to invest in yourself, every goal you set, every step forward—you're creating a life that's uniquely yours. And it's going to be incredible.

Your future is full of possibility. Your potential is limitless. And we're honored to be part of your journey.

You matter. You are not alone. 💙

You're not the same person you were a year ago. Or even six months ago. You're growing, changing, evolving.

Maybe you're:
✨ Learning new skills
✨ Setting healthier boundaries
✨ Building stronger relationships
✨ Discovering who you really are
✨ Becoming the person you want to be

Growth isn't always loud or obvious. Sometimes it's quiet. Sometimes it's slow. But it's happening.

You're always becoming. And we're excited to see who you're becoming.

Ever wonder what FAM Time looks like? 💙

FAM Time is our monthly gathering where Members come together to connect, share a meal, and just be around people who get it.

It's not formal. It's not structured. It's just community.

Sometimes we:
✨ Share wins and celebrate each other
✨ Talk about challenges and offer support
✨ Play games and laugh together
✨ Connect with mentors and staff
✨ Just hang out and enjoy being together

For many of our Members, FAM Time is the highlight of their month. It's a place where they don't have to explain their past or prove themselves. They can just be.

That's the power of chosen family.

To our alumni: We can't wait to see you at the next FAM Time!

Still smiling from the Starfish Gala! 🌟💙

Here are some of our favorite moments from the evening. Swipe through to see the joy, the connection, and the community that filled the Colorado Mesa University Ballroom on May 9.

From the silent auction to the inspiring speeches to the conversations that lasted long into the night—every moment reminded us why we do this work.

Thank you to everyone who made this night so special. We're already looking forward to next year!

Throwback Thursday! 📸✨

Let's take a moment to reflect on how far FAM has come.

From our founder's vision of creating a chosen family for foster care alumni to serving 226+ Members and counting—this journey has been incredible.

We've:
✨ Granted countless wishes
✨ Provided thousands of mentorship hours
✨ Built a community where alumni belong
✨ Created programs that meet real needs
✨ Celebrated wins big and small
✨ Walked alongside Members through every season

And we're just getting started.

None of this would be possible without our Members, our community, our partners, and our supporters. You make this work possible.

Here's to the journey so far—and to everything still ahead. 💙

Thank you for being part of the FAMily.
