Every day, the Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation changes the story for children in foster care by funding a variety of activities and items. We know what we do matters, but sometimes we don’t realize just HOW much it matters until we receive letters from the kids themselves. Like 16 year-old Angelina, for whom we paid for out-of-state theme park admission.
“Thank you so much for paying for my trip to California. It means a lot, with all the bad that has happened. It is really nice to finally get a break from all the court and all of that.
It’s Hard to Stay a Kid
As a 16 year-old in foster care, it’s hard to stay a kid. This foundation is really amazing. It just helps the world a little bit at a time, or at least us kids who have been through some things. I’m very excited for my trip. Without you, I probably wouldn’t get to go.
Thank you for doing this. I’m sure you know how cold the world can be. I’m not saying thank you just for paying for my trip, but THANK YOU for helping out kids like me and for trying to just add a little bit of happiness in our lives. It truly does mean so much. I know when I’m older, I’ll help out the kids who can’t afford it, or a child that’s in foster care.”
