Fostering Wishes For Children

Fostering Wishes program grants wishes to foster children for the “little extras” in life that, often times, the State and foster parents are unable to provide due to financial constraints.

“He enjoys summer camp, and looks forward to it all year long. Without the grant I would not have been able to send him on some of the field trips that the camp offers and I know he would have felt left out on that day.”

- Angela, Foster Parent

“This donation was truly a wish come true. This child has never played a sport before and being a part of team increased his self esteem, gained a sense of belonging and made new friends. He created memories to last and captured many pictures to look back on this experience. Thank you!”

- Katie, Foster Parent

Wishes make a difference.
