We're excited to welcomeย Kristin Finan, Co-Founder of Carrying Hope, to the conversation. She shares how Carrying Hope makes an impact for youth and families impacted by the foster care system across Texas.
Right now, over 21,000 children are in foster care in Texas. The good news? There are people stepping up to support them in meaningful ways, like Carrying Hope!ย
3 incredible programs:
๐ Hope Packs โ Essentials for kids entering foster care
๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ Hair & Hope โ Helping girls with textured hair feel confident and connected
๐ Hope's Home โ Stable housing for young adults aging out of the system
