Building Brighter Futures 4 Foster & Homeless Children!
The Need
On an average day in America there are 120,000* orphans and foster children living in group homes or institutions. Many children believe no one wants them. We tell our precious children they are loved and more precious than all the stars in the sky and their forever family hasn't found them yet. It gives them hope.
They have a lot of healing to do. Some of their family members trafficked them for discount drugs. 1.3 million* homeless youths are living on the street ----- many were in the foster care system. They struggle to survive. It's critical for communities to come together to help children in critical need.

Illinois continues to shuttle kids from group home to group home, including children who are returned by adopted and foster families. These precious kids don't have a chance to stay long enough in group homes to develop strong friendships or trust. It's hard for them to learn when they constantly have to adjust to a new environment. Frequently, the children are heartbroken, filled with anxiety and stress when they are forced to go to a new group home and different schools, again and again! Who can heal and learn under these conditions!?
