Foster Me a Future
Calling upon those passionate about children, their wellbeing and happiness—Lifewise needs your help!
Every year we place approximately 40 children into foster homes, but we receive over 220 placement requests for children in need of a home. You can help by fostering a child and giving them the love and care they deserve.
“Put your hand out and help a child if you can. These kids may not be of our blood, but they are of our heart,” –Margaret, Lifewise Carer for 10 years.
