A common experience that many of us experience as former foster youth is feeling alone.

We often feel alone at the very moments in our lives when we most need other people to help us. When our safety is threatened. When we are transitioning from one living situation to another. When an overwhelming situation comes up and we aren't sure how to handle it. 

Thankfully, we as foster care alumni can network with one another and with our trusted allies. Tears literally came to my eyes this week after an encouraging update that reminded me that, in our efforts, we are NOT alone. #Grateful
