Jacob Macfoy, Founder & CEO



My foster care story started when I was just 12 years old. Even though things weren’t great at home, I still missed my parents every single day I was in the system. I jumped from foster home to foster home and today I can admit it, I was a troubled teen.



My home life wasn’t perfect, but neither is growing up in foster care.



I’m a foster care survivor . . . but what they don’t tell you is that the survival tactics don’t end just because you age out of the system. That’s only the beginning.



When I exited foster care at 18 years old, I had no understanding of how to survive as an adult. I ended up sleeping in my car on multiple occasions, parked in front grocery stores at night, praying that would-be thieves would leave me alone.



Eighteen and homeless. I slept in my car, I surfed the couches of friends, I did whatever it took to just survive. What I didn’t know, because no one had taught me, was that there were resources for me, and I could have remained in foster care until age 21.



This is my story of why I started this nonprofit agency. My goal is to create a place where foster kids can call home. A place where they can return to on the holidays even after they age out of foster care. My goal is to be like a second family to them.



One of my main focuses will be to set them up for success with a permanence plan. When they age out, they will understand how to pay bills and save money. The state does not provide foster kids or even young adults with this information that to get a car you must have credit and to build your credit you need at least one credit card.



These are things I wish I knew before I aged out of care.



Mental health is another concern of mine. Take it from me, when CPS shows up and takes you from the only home you know, it causes trauma. I will forever live with those scars, but I want to help other children and teens like me overcome them.



The foster system is broken and has been for a long time. It needs to be reformed. My experience in foster care drives me every day to create a safe place for all foster kids of all ages to grow and prosper in a structured environment and a place they can call home for years to come.

Jacob Macfoy owner and Ceo went through foster care when I was 12 years old, I was taken from my family and put in CPS care. I jumped from foster home to foster home due to me being a troubled young adult. During that time, I was still maturing into a teenager, and I missed my parents every single day. AS a former youth of Foster care there were times where family member in my family passed away and I was not allowed to go cps did not try to reunite me with my parent they told me that my parents said I could never come home but they never said that so not only did they take me from my family they lied on them and drove a wedge between me and my parents I wanted to start this nonprofit to help foster kids in Texas and eventually the country. When I aged out of care, I had no understanding of how to survive and ended up sleeping in my car on multiple occasions. I had to park my car in front of grocery stores at night just to make sure my car did not get broken into what you are not told while in care is that you have resources you can stay in care until the age of 21, I did not stay in care but I wish I had because if I had stayed I would have never slept in my car. I also went throw a period where I was couch surfing. When I was in care, I was being moved from foster home to foster home and ended up with my last foster family for 3 years and ended up graduating from high school. This is my story of why I started this nonprofit agency. My goal is to create a place where foster kids that have parents and do not have parents can call home and where they can still return to after they age out of care for holidays. My goal is to be like a second family to them. The system of cps is broken and needs to be reformed. My goal is to create a place for foster kids to grow and prosper. One of my main focuses will be to set them up for success so when they age out, they will have money to be able to survive and will understand how to pay bills and save money. The state does not provide foster kids or even young adults with this information that to get a car you must have credit to build your credit you need at least one credit card. These are things I wish I knew before I aged out of care. Also, when Cps took me, It caused serious mental issues that I am still working through today and that is exactly what I struggled with during that period in my life I suffered from depression and anxiety and even attempted to take My life 6 times I was put in multiple homes where I was physically and emotionally abused as a young adult. I look back and feel like I would have been better off with my parents not in cps care due to My experiences I wanted to create a safe place for all foster kids of all ages for them to grow and prosper in a structured environment and a place they can call home for years to come.
