Back in January, we had the privilege of visiting the Governor’s mansion, where we had the honor of meeting Texas First Lady Cecilia Abbott to discuss and advocate for the future of foster care in Texas. This meaningful conversation reinforced the importance of supporting vulnerable children and families in our communities.

We are incredibly grateful to all our special guests and dear friends of The Children’s Shelter who joined us for this important discussion. A heartfelt thank you to Cecilia Abbott for taking the time to welcome us and for her commitment to this cause. Your support and dedication help create a brighter future for children in need. 💙

Stay tuned for more fun pictures from this special day! 📸
