Did you know that half of foster parents quit within the first year?

Katie Welch is trying to change that reality in Kansas City through Foster Light - a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting foster families.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

- Why Katie started Foster Light

- The importance of “wraparound services” for foster families

- Staggering statistics on foster youth

- Easy ways for the community to be part of the solution

Katie encourages us that making a difference in foster care takes a community, and everyone can play a part.
