Every child deserves a chance to just be a kid. Children experiencing foster care often face significant challenges to their emotional and social well-being due to instability, frequent relocations, and the trauma of separation from their families Let’s talk about what’s missing when there’s no sense of normalcy: 📉 Extracurricular activities 📉 Family routines 📉 Peer interaction We know that 80% experience significant mental health issues and only 30-50% feel socially connected. It’s more than missing out — it’s losing the moments that make childhood feel normal. What does normalcy actually do for a child? ✅ Builds confidence ✅ Strengthens resilience ✅ Supports emotional development ✅ Makes it easier to succeed — in school and in life That’s why our Love Box® program shows up with more than just supplies — we show up with consistency, relationship, and joy. From dance recitals to birthday cakes, from tough days to small wins — we’re there. 98% of youth in our Love Box® program experience an increased sense of normalcy and emotional and social well-being Our Customer First Measurement report is now LIVE — and the data speaks volumes.

DID YOU KNOW? 📉 Less than 50% of youth experiencing foster care graduate high school by age 18, compared to about 85% of youth in the general population. This gap is not just a statistic — it’s a reality we’re actively working to change through the power of relationships. Our programs were designed to close this gap, providing consistent mentorship, academic support, and relational stability to help youth experiencing foster care reach their fullest potential.💙 “My mom didn’t really care about me going to school. I was failing in school. I had no passing grades. Staying at home helping my mom with my little brothers and my little sister. I needed tutoring help with math because I wasn’t very good at it, I needed help, and that was when I met Emmanuel.” -Josh, youth in Dare to Dream® program ✨ The solution? It’s people. People who show up, build meaningful relationships, and create lasting stability. The foster care system can’t solve this alone, but together, we can make a difference. “To be the first person in my family to graduate means a lot to me because that means I broke a generational curse. Just be strong and don’t give up.” You can be part of this change. Become a mentor or support our mission to help more youth graduate and succeed. ✨ We’re not standing by. We’re stepping in—and you can, too.
