United Methodist Youthville extends our greatest appreciation to all of the foster parents who give of their time, energy, and love on a daily basis to our community's most vulnerable children, children in foster care. Children that many believe to be fragile, however, the truth is that they have grown numb and have faced horrors that many of us could never understand. They are no longer innocents and seldom believe that things can get better.
Foster parents face the fears and pains hand in hand with our community's foster care children.
They hold quivering children as they heal, showing them the love and support they need to help them to feel whole again. The foster care children, past and present, in our community have benefited enormously due to the amazing people we call foster parents. We saluted foster parents during Foster Care Appreciation Month, let us continue to salute them throughout the year.
