“The many short-term and long-term effects of the Corona- virus have increased the impacts felt by the world’s already at-risk families and children. Due to an increase in child abuse and neglect during recent times of quarantine and social distancing, NOW MORE THAN EVER, you are called to LOVE and serve the needs of the children who are finding their way into the system. With more than 437,000 U.S. children in foster care, and an average of only 200,000 licensed foster homes, 30-60% of which drop out each year, the need for loving foster families is great. And, if not as a foster family, there are endless ways to support the foster community..” ~ Ashley Rae
