Right now, there are over 400,000 children in foster care in the U.S. alone.
All of these kids have experienced loss or trauma in their young lives, but they’re no less deserving of a safe, loving home than any other child. The nonprofit Together We Rise works diligently to help more than 250 foster kids every single day. Whenever a child gets adopted, they share the most heartwarming photos of their “gotcha days” online, and we’re in love!
