We
appreciate all our sponsors and their valued support to the community of
care givers for foster children of Texas.

Our sponsors understand:
THE NEED:
Children and youth in foster care require safe, stable,
and nurturing environments to live in until they can either safely
reunite with their parents or establish other lifelong family
relationships.
THE FUTURE:
If nothing
changes by the Year 2020:
-
22,500
children will die of abuse or neglect, most before their fifth
birthday;
-
More than
9,000,000 children will experience the foster care system;
-
More than
300,000 children will age out of the foster care system, in poor
health and ill-prepared for success in higher education,
technical college or the workforce; and,
-
99,000
former foster youth, who aged out of the system, can expect to
experience homelessness.
THE SOLUTION:
With guidance and
support from nurturing adults, children and youth in foster care are
capable of overcoming the repercussions of previous abuse and neglect.
Across the country, people just like you are helping them build brighter
futures by serving as their foster parents, relative caregivers,
mentors, advocates, social workers and volunteers.
