Help a child like Katie…
Katie is only 8 years old but like many foster children her age, she’s had a tough start. A lot of children in care have experienced neglect or physical abuse, while others go through family illness, trauma or loss. Whatever the situation, they all deserve happiness – and that starts with a home.
