Today our #humansofFosterCare story comes from Olivia Kirk, a social worker who has committed her life to #bemyperson for youth in foster care. Make sure to read her story on IG or FB! #nfcm #ImTheirPerson

"So how can you be their person? Our community, parents, teachers, caregivers, friends, and family can be of support by taking the time to get to know our youth to find out what is the best way they could use their support"- Krystle Williams MYOI Coordinator #HumansofFosterCare

Andy Rent, a CASA Board Member shares his #HumansofFosterCare story with #fosterkentkids to bring new ways you could #bemyperson for a youth in foster care! #NFCM

[WMPC @WMPC_cares]

Research shows that the single most common factor for developing resilience in children is at least one stable and committed relationship with 1 adult. The 800+ children in foster care need more "Humans of Foster Care" to say #ImTheirPerson. What could you do? #NFCM #bemyperson
