Meet One of Our Foster Parents
“What really keeps me going is my empathy,” says Sheena, a foster parent who has welcomed children with autism into her home. “If you have the heart for it, do it. Everything else will fall into place, but if your heart is genuinely in the right place to support kids with autism the resources are there. Just start with your heart and mind in the right place and be open to learning.”
