Your Donation Benefits: Atlanta Angels who's mission is "to walk alongside children, youth and familiies in the foster care community by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationshop building and mentorship." Children are removed from their homes and placed in foster care due to neglect, abandonment, or because they are the victims of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. Children in foster care experience high placement instability, many of them moving homes frequently. One large factor leading to this high rate of turnover is foster parents feeling unsupported or overwhelmed. The vision and goal of Atlanta Angels is to see those in the foster care community have healthy, affirming and lasting relationships. They are working to help build a new foster care system that is focused on hope, education, community and empowerment. http://www.atlantaangels.org
