We would not be where we are without the incredible work that @statusofwomensf does for our city. DOSW - thank you for believing in us - and, more importantly, thank you for believing in these youth who deserve loving homes.
Trafficking and exploitation are more common than you think. Bay Area youth in foster care are vulnerable to trafficking and deserve safe homes to thrive. Learn how you can help at joinfam.org. #FAM #joinFAM #FamilyAndMe @freedomfwd #foster #fostercare #fostering
