"KIDS MATTER provides youth and families much needed stability during some of their hardest times. While I was a teenager in foster care, the staff at KIDS MATTER stormed into my life with a force. After several placement moves and countless changes in case staff, I struggled with accepting help and advice from people in the system. The KIDS MATTER team showed me that there really were people in my corner, that I was more than just a foster kid, and that I really could go anywhere I wanted in life.
They have remained an important relationship for me well into adulthood. I have continued to feel surrounded by their support and many times -- much needed advice. They're an amazing organization providing often very difficult but important services in the community. There are not enough good things to be said about KIDS MATTER." - Amanda
