Every child and youth in foster care yearns for a place in this world. They need to know that people care about them and that they have friends, loving family, or a trusted adult ready to help them with life’s many challenges.

Labels should never define people nor limit their opportunities. Every kid deserves to be judged on their own merits, free of the stigma that society unjustly places on them.

Everyone needs a place to call home—whether it is a physical place where they lay their head or an emotional place with people who care for and about them.
