Thank you to @habitburger for donating "Chartickets" (valid for one free burger) to students in need! One of the biggest requests weโve had this year is for meal assistance, so their support is very much appreciated! ๐
๐ After 21 months of only gathering virtually, we finally were able to host the Echoes of Hope Youth & Leaders IN PERSON! It was incredible to get to hug, connect, share a meal & have fun once again with our dear EOH family.

We recommend reading this incredible opinion piece on @nytimes written by a former foster youth. Their vulnerability & strength is apparent in reading about their experience, and will support other former/current foster youth to know they are not alone ๐
