The Plight of Foster Children in the US
If you were once a foster child that reality stays with you no matter how old you are. This cause exists to minimize that impact. We do not want to reinvent the wheel. We want to lend assistance to existing programs that would provide a greater level of effectiveness were it to recieve whatever it most requires.
