Foster Care Awareness 365 brings forth a tremendous opportunity to “Every Day of the Year” shine a light on the nearly 500,000 Children in the Foster Care System.
Each child deserves to have a family and be a part of a safe, loving home. These Children need you to take action!
365 = “Every Day of the Year”
Let’s return foster care back to its original purpose: a short-term safety net for kids awaiting reunification with their birth/legal families.
THE WHY: Shocking Stats That Demand Action
✅ 424,000+ children are currently in foster care in the U.S.
✅ A child enters foster care every 2 minutes
✅ 60% of child sex trafficking victims have histories in foster care
✅ Over 20,000 youth age out of foster care each year without a family
✅ Children in foster care are twice as likely to suffer from PTSD as war veterans
✅ Nearly 50% of foster youth become homeless within 18 months of aging out
👉 These aren’t just numbers. They’re urgent calls to act — 365 days a year.
The Featured Child Profiles are representative profiles of children in foster care (2 males, 2 females) that reflect trends and realities across the U.S. foster care system. These are not meant to stereotype or generalize, but to serve as archetypes based on common characteristics seen in national data and casework insights.
