Brian Morgantini (member, National Policy Council)
Because I spent time in foster care, it has incredibly encouraged me to keep being as passionate as I have been, all these years. Advocacy is in my blood, I still talk about fosterclub nearly everyday to people eight years later!
Michael Hendricks (former All-Star)
FosterClub has given me perspective on my past and because of that I have finally been able to grieve and move on. It’s honestly the best thing I could have asked for.
