VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY:
Have your story included in the upcoming book, From Foster Care to Anywhere!
This book, written by FCAA alumni member Rhonda Sciortino, will be published and distributed throughout the U.S. as a compilation of stories of people who, despite having experienced abuse, abandonment, or neglect, have survived and are thriving.
This book will encourage others who are still trying to get on their feet that they can do it. It will let employers know that people who have experienced foster care can be the most determined and ambitious employees. And it will let the world know who we are and why we do some of the things we do to survive, cope, and take care of ourselves and the ones who come after us.
If you’re interested in participating in this project, contact Rhonda Sciortino, a member of Foster Care Alumni of America, at helpfosterkids@cox.net.
