Make A Difference Minute: Carrying More Than a Backpack

from The Mark White Show · host Mark White

On this Make A Difference Minute, I have Melissa Matheson, Director and Co-Founder of Kids For Life, sharing about the realities many children face when entering foster care and the support needed for both children and foster families. Melissa explains that many children enter care because of circumstances involving neglect, abuse, or addiction in the home, often arriving with very few belongings and carrying burdens most people never see. Kids For Life is working to support not only children, but entire foster families, recognizing that helping families succeed creates a stronger foundation for children during difficult transitions. This MADM is brought to you by Bama Estate Planning by Attorney Harlan D. Mitchell, proudly supporting stories and the people who make our communities strong. Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™️
