Cleveland Angels Non Profit

What does it mean to be a kid?

To laugh with friends. Try something new. Make memories. Feel like you belong.

Children and youth experiencing foster care want many of the same things every child wants—a chance to simply be a kid.

Creating opportunities for normal childhood experiences can make a lasting impact, helping children and youth feel connected, included, and valued.

This Summer, your gift can help children, youth, and families experiencing foster care attend the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's Asian Lantern Festival for a night of fun, connection, dinner, and memories.

💙 $30 sponsors one child.
💙 $150 sponsors a family or group of five children.

Because childhood matters. And so do the people who show up.

Foster Care Month may be coming to an end — but the mission is not.

Showing up changes lives.
And it changes you, too.

It creates purpose, perspective, and connection in ways you may not expect.

In fact, 82% of youth, families, and volunteers stay connected even after the program ends. Your yes can create relationships that last far beyond a moment — and impact everyone involved.

Whether it’s mentoring, volunteering, giving, or partnering, every yes matters.

It takes all of us — and your yes matters.

How will you give your yes?

The solution to the foster care crisis starts with something simple — community. 💙

Somewhere along the way, we stopped showing up for our neighbors. We’re here to change that — and we’re asking you to be part of it.

This isn’t someone else’s issue. It belongs to all of us.

Before systems existed, neighbors showed up for neighbors. That’s still the solution today.

Every child experiencing foster care deserves people willing to say yes — to mentoring, volunteering, giving, and showing up.

Community is the solution. What’s your yes?

The foster care system is complex.
Consistent relationships are the solution.

This National Foster Care Awareness Month, we’re changing the narrative — and asking you to be part of it.

Children, youth, and families experiencing foster care don’t need more programs.
They need people who show up, again and again.

Because consistent relationships change everything.

The reality:
• Only 50% of youth experiencing foster care will graduate on time
• 1 in 5 youth will experience homelessness

But when someone shows up consistently, outcomes change.

87% of youth in our programs graduate on time or are on track to graduate.

Mentors and youth build lasting relationships, greater stability, and hope for the future.

This is how lives change.

When you say yes to mentoring, volunteering, giving, or partnering, you become part of that change.

What’s your yes? 💙

Volunteer. Mentor. Give. Partner.

Don’t scroll past this.
Take the next step today.
Be the reason someone’s story turns out differently.

Instability is one of the greatest challenges children and youth face in foster care.

More than 50% of foster homes close within the first year. That often means constant moves — new schools, new rules, and new faces. And when a child moves homes, they lose more than a roof over their head; they lose a sense of stability and belonging.

In a world of constant change, the most powerful thing you can offer is consistency.

You do not need to be a hero.
You do not need to have all the answers.

You just need to be someone who stays.
Month after month. Conversation after conversation.

Consistency builds trust.
Trust builds stability.
Stability changes everything.

You don’t have to have it all figured out — just be willing to say yes.

There’s no one right way to make a difference.
Only your way.

What’s your yes? 💙

Volunteer. Mentor. Give. Partner.
