Because of YOU, a youth in our care not only achieved a major milestone—for the first time ever they got to celebrate it. 💙

Your support made it possible for us to recognize a youth's achievement of a challenging academic goal by throwing them a small party. Staff shared, "Watching their face as their friends gathered in celebration for them...it was amazing. I saw their confidence to keep reaching higher grow right in front of me!"

When youth feel seen and celebrated, their hope that they can achieve hard and great things is reinforced. That’s the power of your generosity. 🌟

Last week, our amazing Foster Parents came together for a night of encouragement, connection, and appreciation at our office! 💛

These gatherings are more than meetings—they’re a reminder that no one fosters alone. Together, we share challenges, celebrate wins, and strengthen the network of care surrounding our kids and youth.

Thank you to every one who came and helped. And a special thank you to our parents who continue to make a profound difference every day! 💪

🎒✨ Because of YOU, youth in our care received the school and career-training supplies they needed to succeed—planners, device chargers, uniforms, shoes, and more.
You helped them show up prepared, confident, and ready to reach their goals.
💙 Thank you for keeping their education—and their dreams—on track.

💛 November is National Adoption Month!
Every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for. For youth in foster care, having someone ensure that these needs of theirs are met, can not only change their life but can save their life.

You can be this person for a local youth by becoming a foster parent—providing guidance, stability, and a lifelong connection for a child who needs it.

Imagine the relief of moving into long-term affordable housing after homelessness—safe, stable, and finally home. 🏠

Because of donors like YOU, one family had their first month’s rent covered, removing a huge barrier during such a critical transition, and enabling to cover other essential items and expenses. 💙

November is National Adoption Month, and this year’s theme—Honoring Youth: Strengthening Pathways for Lasting Bonds—reminds us of something vital: youth in foster care are experts in their own lives.

By listening to their voices and prioritizing their needs, we can help create the lasting connections that every young person deserves.

At FCNI, our foster parents and staff work together to help youth move from uncertainty to stability—building lifelong relationships that empower them toward healing, permanency, and independence. 💙
