The Foster Angels of Central Texas Foundation’s mission is to improve the lives of children in foster care, ensuring that each child has his or her basic needs met, and to provide life-enriching and life-enhancing experiences whenever possible.
Foster Angels works with caseworkers from various agencies to find out which children are most in need and to get that help to those children as quickly as possible. Foster Angels receives requests from the children which we are able to fulfill within 48 hours or less, whenever possible. These foster children are in desperate need of assistance, whether it be clothing, a bed to sleep on, medicine, food, birthday parties, or opportunities to build self-esteem and self-confidence. Almost each day of the year, we are assisting children in some area of need.
Dozens of caseworkers have voiced support and recognized the true necessity for this program to aid foster children, often commenting, “What did we do before Foster Angels?” That answer, sadly, is that many children suffered unnecessarily.
Foster Angels is unique in that 100% of all donations go directly to foster children in the Central Texas area. In order to sustain our vital program we are in need of financial donations from the community. You can find out more about giving at http://fosterangelsctx.org/.
