Be A Change Agent for Children in Foster Care

Coconut Telegraph

In late fall, All Star Children’s Foundation’s new five-acre campus in Sarasota will open to children victimized by abuse and neglect. In this nurturing environment, they will be enriched by a comprehensive program centered around healing trauma and surrounded by a team of compassionate caregivers who will teach them coping strategies and help them build trust and self-worth. All Star Children’s Foundation is looking for six caring couples to become foster parents for these children. Each couple will receive training and constant support. More importantly, they will be instrumental in breaking the cycle of abuse that shatters lives and destroys families. You can help All Star find these everyday heroes. Tap into your networks of friends, colleagues and families and let them know of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Call Lindsey May, All Star’s program director, at 941-217-6503 for more information.
