Often when children enter into foster care, they are displaced out of the desert cities far away from everything they know due to the lack of foster homes here in the valley. "A lot of valley foster-children who now reside outside of the desert area leave behind friends, churches, and schools they once attended," Austin said.
The foundation recognizes that unless children reliably experience that they are valued and important, they are not as motivated or available to learn, strive, grow or connect with others. They're also not able to make the most of the services or programs the foundation can provide them.
If you are an adult who is committed and passionate about caring for children and willing and able to provide a supportive, nurturing and stable environment for a child who has been removed from their home, give them a call at 340-2442.
If you can help them reach or exceed their goal of $8000 for this year's Christmas party — please donate.
