Hi blog family!
Yes, I was away because my computer was not working!! I am back!! lol... hope you are all well!
Just letting you know,
back to the point...... (lol)
save the date: May 18th 2-4
Place: Mount Kisco Library, (conference room 2nd fl).. (RSVP)
if you are aging out of foster care in NY and going to trade school or college, please give me your email so i can send you the application!!!!
Attitude is everything, we want you to apply or tell kids to apply that are aging out in June!!! My brother believed everyone deserves a chance and not everyone is an "A" student....we agree so as long as they got into a school (trade or college), you can have them apply (this is to all the social workers, counselors)...lol...
Fosterkidsunite, will be having its 2nd annual "Robert Cooper Memorial Scholarship" awards ceremony!! We are still trying to surpass our goal from last year, with the help of Robs friends, we hope to raise enough to award more than 4 aging out this year!!!!
Aside from giving a few young people a stipend for college or trade school, we will also be honoring a Rev from one of the largest residences and a Boys and Girls Club Director, both of whom have done major work with foster and group home kids!
We are hoping to raise awareness on the state of foster kids and how you can help as a community! May is National Foster care awareness month!
Thought for the day: Never allow anyone to steal your joy, be that your smile, your kindness, your patience or your understanding - life is meant to be joyful, loving and prosperous and you should live your life surrounding these principles- even on a day when someone attempts to ruin it!
Remember life is short but that's OK if you enjoyed it and did all you could to be the best you!
smile, someone is watching you....and do all YOU can while YOU can....with WHAT resources YOU have!!!
:) xo
