This Alternative Child Care Week, we shine a spotlight on the incredible journey of one of our children from KALIPAY who found a loving family through the foster care system. In 2020, Raymond was welcomed into the home of his foster family. They embraced Raymond with open arms, offering him not just a house, but a home filled with love, understanding, and encouragement. The initial days were filled with adjustments, but the bond between Raymond and his foster family grew stronger with each passing day.
Raymond’s transformation over the past few years has been nothing short of extraordinary. From a child burdened by his past, he has blossomed into a budding teenager full of dreams and aspirations. His academic performance has seen a significant upturn, and he has discovered a passion for art and music. The stability and support provided by his foster family have enabled Raymond to explore his interests and develop his talents, paving the way for a promising future.
Alternative Child Care Week is a time to honor and celebrate the foster families, social workers, and foundations who work tirelessly to create a better future for children like Raymond. It is a reminder of the importance of providing children with a safe, nurturing environment where they can grow and flourish. Let’s continue to support and advocate for these programs, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to experience the love and stability they deserve.
