On any given night, foster children and foster youth across our communities are facing challenges no young person should ever have to face alone. Some are unsure where they’ll sleep next month. Some are stretching meals to make them last. Some are transitioning into adulthood without the safety net of family support. And yet, every single one of them is carrying hopes, dreams, and a deep desire to feel safe, seen, and cared for.

This Giving Tuesday, you can be the difference.

Your generosity helps provide the essentials so many of our youth urgently need — a warm meal when the fridge is empty, stable housing when life has been unpredictable, access to counseling and support during painful transitions, and the comfort of knowing that someone out there truly cares.

The reality is heartbreaking: foster youth are among the most vulnerable young people in our communities. But they are also among the strongest. With help, they can rise above circumstances they never chose and build futures they never thought possible.

And that help can start with you.

Your Giving Tuesday gift isn’t just a donation — it’s food on the table, a safe bed, a backpack full of school supplies, a caring adult to walk beside them, and the hope every child deserves. It’s the reminder that even in the hardest moments, they are not forgotten.

This Giving Tuesday, let’s come together to show our foster kids and youth that their stories matter, their futures matter, and they matter.
