The Angels to the Foster System w/ Hannah Budic

You don't need to be a foster parent to have an impact on the foster community. That's the message that Executive Assistant, Hannah Budic, learned when she joined the Cleveland Angels, a non-profit organization in Northeast Ohio that supports the families and children in the foster community. Listen to Hannah's experience growing up with parents that fostered, her continued passion to help and how she got involved with the Cleveland Angels.

The Cleveland Angels is one of 22 national chapters of the Angels organization. They run two main programs, "Dare to Dream" and "Love Box Families". Dare to Dream is a mentorship program that pairs a screened and qualified adult with an older youth in the foster system and the Love Box Families pairs individuals or groups with a family that is hosting a foster youth and provides them with a monthly box of supplies, gifts and encouragement. 

Currently in the Cleveland area there are 27 Love Box families looking to be matched and mentorship needs in Elyria for females and Parma and Euclid for males. For more info or how you can help visit cleangels.org.

Do you have a story to share about fertility, foster care or adoption? Or maybe you decided to live child free? You're still part of the family and others could use hearing your message. Contact Dustin at dustin@stepuptogreatness.com.
