❤️May is Foster Care Awareness Month!❤️
Let's take a moment to spread awareness on the hard work our foster parents and staff do for these kids in need and to shine light on every child in care who are finding their way.
In 2025, 12,814 youth were placed in foster care in the state of New York. There are many reasons why children are placed in foster care such as; abuse, neglect, incarceration, lack of resources, drug addiction, etc. Children in the foster care system have experienced a tremendous amount of loss who need the space, time and tools to grieve. It is our foster parents and staff who support them through these difficult times of their life and to get them on the right track.
Thank you to all who make a difference in these children's lives. Let's continue to spread awareness on foster care and on the wonderful work that is done every day to make sure these kids are safe, loved and have a sense of belonging.
