I really like this campaign for foster care #donateyoursmalltalk . A lot of times when people think about charity, they think about monetary donations, so people who cannot or do not want to donate might mentally check out when charity comes up. But an issue like placing foster children requires so much help beyond the monetary. When you take a second to think about the stats in these PSAs, it's difficult to look away: Over 400,000 kids are in foster care right now Over 700 kids enter the foster care system every day Every year, 25,000 children age out of the foster care system and will be completely on their own It takes 34 months on average for a foster kid to get adopted Peppering in important topics like this in our regular conversation has a limitless ROI. Maybe you're not the person to volunteer, foster or donate monetarily, and maybe the first person you bring a topic like this up to won't be either, but the more that important information like this spreads around, the more likely it is that the people who are ready to help will find out about it and match with a cause that they feel ready and compelled to donate their time and abilities to. https://lnkd.in/gnGjaDHN

Child To Adult Transitioning When a child is diagnosed with a life-limiting condition, the support and stability of a hospice environment such as ellenor is a lifeline for families. So, when a young person in care has to transition from child to adult services, it can be a difficult time for all involved.

🌟 Grant Spotlight: $5.8 million to MiracleFeet to scale up treatment for clubfoot and monitor its program. MiracleFeet is different from most programs we fund because it involves treating a physical disability rather than implementing a preventive health program. We currently estimate that this program is close to our cost-effectiveness threshold, and we hope that we’ll learn more and update our views as a result of this work with MiracleFeet. Help us fund more grants like this by donating today. https://lnkd.in/da7teGFX

IT'S A HEART THING Glen Meadows located in Hamilton, Ohio has a monthly BINGO store for their residents; the residents get BINGO bucks for participating and winning games. Torlana is a Restorative Aide at the facility and one of her residents doesn't like BINGO but like to shop at the store. Torlana takes him and then with her own money makes a donation to the store. We have so many good staff that go above and beyond for their residents because they become like family. Doing something extra for someone and not wanting anything in return is a beautiful thing. Foundations Core Value #2 is "Do what is right, even when no one is watching." Torlana is one of so many more of our caring staff across the State that give so much of themselves to their residents and fellow staff. They are our Culture of Care, and they are making a difference every day. You don’t do the right things for credit, you do it because it’s right. Torlana does what she does for her residents because it makes her residents feel happy and at home! By doing what’s right and not looking for recognition makes everyone’s jobs and lives easier and more fulfilled. It's simply a heart thing. #heartthing #doingwhatsright #glenmeadows #foundationshealthsolutions #cultureofcare #makingadifference #seniorliving #seniorcare
