Really, it wouldn't take much from each of us to do this. It would be a non profit organization dedicated to raising funds for the single purpose of paying foster parents to keep these kids in their homes a while longer. I think most of them would agree to do it, not only because it makes sense and would help the kids, but also because most of those people participating in the foster parent programs have a real love of children, and want to do what's best for them. I'm sure of it.
I'll start the whole thing, registering the non profit, and then, if anyone else wants to join, let me know. There are not only individual donations to look for, but we could approach corporations, other non profits that already have lots of money to give for these type of purposes, churches, etc. for donations.
I don't think that many would refuse to give these kids some "starter money" as I call it. The money to get a good start in adult life, going to their foster parents for a continuation of the life they have right now. Heaven knows, if they were taken from their parents at a young age for neglect or abuse, which they all were, they sure didn't have a good start to their childhood.
It would be wonderful for them to know that other people care about them and their future, and that they're not alone in the world. They need to have the security to go out in the world knowing that somebody, in fact a whole group, has their backs, and they're not alone.
We can give it to them. It would be easy.
