Half of the children in foster care exit care and are reunited with caretakers. The others are not so lucky. Many foster care children struggle in adulthood due to constant changes. See more foster care stats here: https://t.co/mpYnjQIE4y

As a former foster child, I overcame lack of guidance to beat the odds. Using my past experiences, I now advocate for transition age foster youth. My show, “SugarFree: Foster Care Cognitive Dissonance” will detail my experiences. Purchase tix today: https://t.co/KTztUyaDGS

@Sugarfreesherry @FosterCareToday Hi Shari, we have a 501c3 dedicated to helping teens when they age out of foster care! People don’t believe us that when they turn 18, they are shown the door with NOTHING. But we’ve made it our mission to help these teens navigate the world, belongings and more. Thank you!
