“Faces of Foster Care” in our community shared raw, real and inspiring stories and experiences. Former foster youth, a parent, foster parents and inspiring community members shared about the sacred healing mission, why it’s important, and how there are many ways to support and show up for Utah’s vulnerable youth in foster care.
No matter how much exposure you’ve had to foster care, this is worth the watch.
There are many ways to support Utah’s vulnerable children.
Utah First Lady Abby Cox expressed the need for more licensed foster families. Kristin Andrus invited everyone to consider “If not you, who? If not now, when?” There are many ways to get involved and ways for everyone to show up.
