When we talk about "the system being broken," these are the numbers we are fighting against. 💔
Look at the ripple effect of trauma on foster youth. Children in foster care are spending an average of 40 months in the system, trying to survive while falling further and further behind.

Please consider nominating East Texas Open Door 💜 Funds raised could help cover the fees for the girls to get to participate in some local activities/camps over the summer and be able to complete their backyard area so we have options for each girl to be able to do and enjoy while spending time outside

🚨 Marshall friends, we want your recommendations! 🚨

As we gear up for our 18th annual Charity Day, we're looking for a local nonprofit organization to partner with this year.

If you know a 501(c)(3) organization supporting individuals with disabilities, women, or children in the Marshall community, we'd love to hear about them.

Tap the link in the first comment to submit a nonprofit nomination or apply directly👇

We'll contact our chosen partner by the end of July. We can't wait for another year of making together 🌊

In Texas, more than 1,000 youth age out of foster care each year.

When youth age out of the foster care system between 18 to 23 years old, they are vulnerable to addiction, human trafficking and homelessness. With little support, former foster youth are left to navigate from adolescence to adulthood on their own.

For National Youth Aging Out Day, you can help by fostering or adopting a teen through Waiting Texas Children and providing mentorship for youth who may not have a positive person in their life.

To learn more, sign up for one of our virtual information meetings.

🎂 Three Birthdays, One Month, Endless Gratitude! 🎂
We closed out May by celebrating our THIRD birthday of the month last night! Making sure our girls feel cherished and celebrated on their special day is at the very heart of what we do—and we couldn't do it without our incredible community.
A huge thank you to Aurora Adams for the beautiful (and absolutely delicious!) cookie cake, and to everyone else who steps up to make these milestones possible. It truly takes a village! 💖
