Friendship wasn't meant for convenience and neither was love. - Me

There's so much pain and poverty rampaging our streets. There's orphans taken in by the state and then sent to a foster home... those that do age out.

When the child turns 18 they age out, meaning that the children are removed from the system and are to set out as adults. In 2002 alone 19,509 aged out, 50% spend their first year on the streets homeless. It's not that they don't try, but it's that they're lost, children that have been taken into a foster home are usually victims of all sorts, from neglect to molestation. There's so much that can be done. That should be done and needs to be done to help those children... I can't do it alone...

Please, find it in your hearts to let as many people as you know about this

If you doubt me... at least read her story:
