Pledge your birthday to 500,000+ kids who will experience foster care this year!
On average, kids in foster care spend 2 birthdays in the system.
“A birthday is supposed to be a celebratory day... but not when I was in foster care... Birthdays seemed to be more of a burden on the families I lived with.”
— Lupe, FosterClub member, Arizona
Many young people who experience foster care describe birthdays as any other day. No presents. No “Happy Birthdays!”. One young person even told us she could no longer remember a single birthday in foster care.
But this year, you can use YOUR birthday to make life in foster care brighter year-round.
