Together we can end the foster care crisis by 2025
Also, in our area, we have thousands of churches, individuals and families with the calling, gifts, talents and resources to help.
Children and families in our community are in crisis. 3,000+ children in our community are placed in foster care every year.
We serve counties in Region 8 of Texas which include:
- Bexar
- Kendall
- Comal
- Guadalupe
- Wilson
- Atascosa
- Bandera
- Medina
- 50% of foster families quit within the first year of fostering due to lack of support
- Children are placed in facilities instead of families and siblings end up separated.
- Relative caregivers struggle or are unable to say yes
- Youth who age out alone frequently end up homeless, in prison, or sex trafficked
We have more abused and neglected children than we have families willing to serve them. Due to a lack of safe, loving, supported homes, our youngest victims of abuse and neglect are swept into the foster care system.
If you’re like most people who hear about this crisis, you want to do something but aren’t sure where to start. Most assume the only two options are to foster or adopt.
