Dear Ed,

These last couple of years have been very impactful, it has made me the man I am today. I would like to express my appreciation for everything you have done for me and the Brown’s Harbor community. Not only are you an inspiration and mentor, but you are like a big brother to me. You have shown me through hard work and consistency, I can make a difference not only in my own life, but in others as well. Thank you for taking the time out of your overwhelming schedule to share your knowledge, wisdom, and life advice. I look forward to learning from you.

With Gratitude,

Tyler

Permanent Connections

Permanent connections and supportive people are vital to your well-being. Having someone to lean on during difficult times cannot be overemphasized.

Never Lost

As a foster kid, I found that permanency and supportive adults were both typically lacking. During my time in care, there was always a wave of people coming into and out of my life.

The Dignity of Risk

“Being in foster care felt like being incarcerated,” shared a young person with lived experience. Incarceration, the act of confining a person, is used for retribution, incapacitation, deterrence, and rehabilitation. Youth in foster care have not committed a crime so why do we limit their freedom to make decisions and take risks?
