About Foster Light

Foster care is heavy & we’re here to make it lighter. We are creating a sustainable system for foster youth, one family at a time.

Half of foster parents quit within the first year. Why? They’re burned out. They’re exhausted from the secondary trauma, the endless meetings, appointments, paperwork and court. They’re tired of carrying the emotional weight of foster care on top of busy, everyday family life. Being a foster parent can oftentimes feel lonely and dark. How can they carry it all and still stay emotionally, mentally, physically & spiritually healthy?

We are a stabilizing force in the lives of foster families. Our services make foster care sustainable so families can be healthier and say “YES” for the duration of a child’s time in care. Long term homes give kids the stability and consistency they need to thrive.
