Remembering Foster Youth

When I was a 19yo, emancipated foster youth navigating my way through college life and depression, I got connected to Friends of the Foster Children. They were one of the first to show me the value of having ordinary people

Journey Through Fire, Part 15

October 12 Marginalized. On the margins. The entire undocumented and migrant community are marginalized, but some experience ever more barriers. I’m still trying to find a space for a family that needs disability access. Cramped hotel rooms and RV’s are
