"Home." That's how Bryson describes his foster mother when asked what she means to him.
At just 11 years old, Bryson was already carrying responsibilities and worries that no child should have to face. While experiencing homelessness and coping with his mother's hospitalization, he needed a safe and stable place to call home.
When Bryson was placed with a CHA foster mom, everything changed. She welcomed him with open arms, and her family embraced him as one of their own. She made sure he had everything he needed and encouraged him to get involved in activities he enjoyed at school and in the community. She introduced him to new experiences, places, and cultures. She also helped him maintain a relationship with his biological mother to make sure those important connections remained strong.
As their relationship grew, Bryson and his foster mom's daughter became inseparable, and he proudly began calling her his sister. Those who know Bryson and his foster mother say it was clear from the beginning that they were meant to be family. He takes his role as the "man of the house" seriously, cares deeply for his foster mother and sister, and has found the sense of belonging every child deserves. Today, Bryson enjoys dancing and is a proud member of the dance team at his local community center.
The support of the Joey Logano Foundation helps make stories like Bryson's possible. Their partnership provides critical resources and encouragement to children and families during some of life's most difficult moments. We are incredibly grateful to the Joey Logano Foundation for standing alongside us as we work to change lives every day.
