If you can see it, you can be it. There's a Valley healthcare worker who is proving that right now - not just for her patients, but also herself.

Can you help?

There are nearly 𝟯𝟬𝟬 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 in Yavapai County… and only 𝟰𝟱 𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀.

🛑 Let that sink in. Forty-five homes. 101 beds. That’s it.

So what happens to these kids when they can't find a bed in their home county?

They get sent out of the county, mostly to Phoenix. Away from their schools, their siblings, their communities, and 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.

Arizona already has the highest rate of children under 12 in group homes in the nation! Add to that the trauma of being removed from their families and sent to not just an unfamiliar home but an unfamiliar town, and you begin to see the weight these kids carry.

👉These aren’t just stats.
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀! Many of whom will experience PTSD at rates double that of U.S. war veterans.
😲𝗬𝗲𝘀, 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲.😲

We need to do better. And we’re working on it.

👉 At Yavapai CASA for Kids Foundation, we’re launching a new initiative to incentivize and support increasing the number of foster parents in our community.
Because no child should be sent away simply because there’s nowhere else to go.

More info coming soon. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, if you want to just see what it takes to be a foster parent, reach out to us! We'd be happy to point you in the right direction!
