About Us: Empowering Youth and Families for a Brighter Future
It is our hope to help kids with the transition from home to foster care by getting them what they need.

It could be as simple as purchasing self-care products, clothing, and medicines. Soothing items like teddy bears and blankets or things to bring joy to a childs face like toys, and bikes.

The Grown-Ups Helping Out
Bill Sutton
PRESIDENT
Our Mission is to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged kids and for the foster
parents who open their doors to them. We want to help kids and foster homes in ways that
government agencies can't, due to red tape and cracks in the system.
Anne Kelly
VICE PRESIDENT
Imagine being in your home one day and then just an hour later you are sitting in a stranger's
house. Unknowing, you could end up being there for years and years. These children did not
ask to be put in these situations but through no fault of their own their entire lives are turned
upside down in an instant.

Nathan Koscuk
TREASURER
As children near the end of their time with Children & Youth or other agencies due to age, there
are things they need. These could include things like finding a place to live and then trying to
furnish it. Getting nice clothes for job interviews or visiting colleges. Being able to fill financial
obligations that are not covered by FAFSA or any other grants/loans.
Jessica Peters
FOSTER PARENT REPRESENTATIVE
We do not wish to have any child to feel that the system has forgotten them. We would like to
build a bridge for these children, foster parents and the community to be able to assist one
another. By providing these children with the proper connections, we can hopefully change the
direction of these children allowing them to grow and prosper. If the child is able to prosper,
they then can be successful. If the child is successful, the entire community prospers by having men and women of good character. As adults, hopefully one day they will make a difference in someone else's life.
