Foster and Adoption Ministry
C3-Children’s Care Coalition is a ministry dedicated to supporting both the children who can no longer live with their family of origin and the foster/adoptive families who can give them a forever home. For more information, please contact Susie Hughes, 903-776-2407 or semdhughes@yahoo.com.
HELP FOSTER CHILDREN START ADULTHOOD
PLUS, APRIL IS NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH-
80% of these youths cannot support themselves four years after emancipating.
-
46% do not have a high school diploma or GED.
-
50% are unemployed.
-
25% experiences homelessness.
-
20% are arrested after leaving care.
We can intervene in this cycle of brokenness by providing basic household items to these youth in order to build a relationship and partner with them as they transition into independence. St. Gabriel’s is partnering with Embrace, the Collin County-wide Christian foster/adoption advocacy group, to provide the basics for a new apartment to youth aging-out of foster care. A box will be in the Narthex from April 15th through April 30th to collect the suggested items. Contact Susie Hughes of St. Gabriel’s C3 903-776-2407 or Quenisha Conaway at quenisha@embracetexas.org with questions. You can learn more about Embrace at www.embracetexas.org.
