Foster Kids Christmas Stocking Program For Transitional Foster Kids Soon To Age Out of the System.
A child enters foster care every two minutes in the U.S.
The sad truth is that over 6 million children are at a high risk of being abused by their families annually and this is represented by the over 3 million reports of possible abuse that are filed every year. We know that children thrive in families and that is why we want kids to be placed into foster care instead of an institution. The problem is that the temporary solution of foster care has become a permanent solution and 10% of the kids that are placed into the system “age out” of it without every really getting the chance to heal.
El Dorado County – A Step Forward has been providing $100 in Gift Cards to older CASA Foster Kids since 2015. For some, this will be the only gift they will get for Christmas.
Please consider helping us help these kids. All donations are Tax Deductible. There is a link below, or please join our Facebook group, and look for “Donation Options” in the Pinned Post.
