Jasmine was five when she entered foster care.

She didn’t know what the word “neglect” meant.
She just knew the lights didn’t always work.
The fridge didn’t always have food.
The house was loud and scary, and she often had to take care of herself.

She didn’t expect foster care to feel any different.
She was used to being on her own.

But this time, someone noticed.

Her foster parent saw a quiet little girl who had already learned how to survive.
They reached out to the Brandon Fund for help.

Jasmine received her own toothbrush.
Her own towel.
Her own set of warm pajamas.

For the first time, she had things that belonged only to her.
For the first time, bedtime felt safe.

These were not big gifts.
But they meant the world to a child who never had them.

This is what the Brandon Fund does.
It turns fear into care.
It shows children like Jasmine that their comfort matters.

Every child deserves that.

Follow Child Guardians to help bring real comfort to children who need it.

Behind every number is a name.

Behind every percentage is a child with a story.

These are not just statistics. They are signals. Red flags. Cries for help wrapped in data points.

A six-year-old who has already been moved three times.

A teenager entering high school without their sibling by their side.

A child who switches schools overnight and loses every friend they had.

A young adult aging out of care with no family and nowhere to go.

These numbers tell us what too many already know—our foster care system is stretched thin, and the children inside it are carrying the weight.

They are resilient. They are resourceful. But they are still kids.

They deserve more than temporary placements.

They deserve more than survival.

They deserve to be safe, supported, and seen.

At Child Guardians, we believe the numbers should never be the end of the story. They should be the beginning of our response.

Because behind every figure is a face. And behind every face is a child who deserves a future worth fighting for.

Neglect is the leading cause of children entering foster care.

62% of cases involve neglect — not abuse, not violence, but unmet basic needs like food, shelter, safety, and emotional care.

When families struggle, children suffer.

Foster care steps in when no other safety net remains.
Child Guardians stands beside these children to ensure their journey is not defined by what they lost, but by the hope and healing they find.

Every child deserves safety. Every child deserves dignity. Every child deserves a future.
Every child deserves a chance.

💙 This Foster Care Awareness Month, help us spread the truth behind the numbers.

Noah was only 13 months old when he entered foster care.

He will not remember the room he was rescued from. He will not remember the hunger or the cries that were ignored. But experiences like these can still affect how a child develops. Early neglect can shape how a child learns to respond to the world. Whether it feels safe or uncertain. Whether people can be trusted or not.

When Noah was found, he did not have clean clothes. He did not have a favorite toy or a warm blanket. He did not have someone to comfort him when he cried.

That first night in foster care could have been just another unfamiliar place. But thanks to CGI’s Brandon Fund, it became the beginning of something different.

Noah received baby clothes. Toiletries. A board book. And a soft stuffed elephant named Ellie.

That little elephant may not seem like much. But it mattered. It was his first comfort item. The first thing that belonged to him. The first signal that the world might not always be harsh.

Every child deserves a soft place to land. A gentle beginning. A reason to feel safe.

If you believe that too, join us.
