You can change lives by becoming a Foster Parent. 
Foster children need what all children need: 
security, stability and continuity in their relationships. 
You can be that influence and inspiration
that changes the course of a youth’s life
 by restoring hope,
demonstrating love that surpasses “blood” relation 
and teaching new skills.
