We are thankful for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our great country 🇺🇸

Right now, thousands of teenagers in Ohio and hundreds of thousands of children across the United States are living in foster care — many of them simply waiting for stability, hope, and someone to believe in them.

In Ohio alone, more than 14,000 children are currently in foster care, and over 1,000 youth aged out of the system last year without a permanent family. Nationwide, over 340,000 children are in foster care on any given day.

These aren’t just statistics.
These are teenagers wondering where they’ll sleep next month.
Kids carrying trauma no child should have to carry.
Young people needing mentors, foster families, churches, and communities to step up and remind them they matter.

We may not be able to change the whole system overnight, but we can change someone’s world through love, consistency, prayer, and showing up. ❤️

Foster care will break your heart and heal it at the same time. It’s messy, beautiful, and absolutely worth it.

The time a child is in your home may be temporary, but the impact you have on them last forever ❤️

When you foster older kids, they don’t just “stay” in your home — they become part of your family.

They get a seat at the dinner table.
They get included in game nights.
They get teased by younger siblings and celebrated at birthdays.

And something beautiful happens… your younger kids don’t see “a foster placement.” They see a big brother. A big sister. Someone to look up to. Someone to protect. Someone to love.

Family isn’t built by biology — it’s built by commitment, grace, and choosing each other every single day.

Older youth in foster care aren’t projects. They’re people who deserve belonging.
