Letters to Foster Children

Open Opportunity

About

Over 400,000 children are in the foster care system today. At Letters to Foster Children, our goal is to support children in the foster care system and make them feel wanted during these difficult times. Often children in foster care feel unwanted, helpless, or insecure. We strive to make sure that every child feels important no matter their circumstances. Specifically, we ask that you write a letter or draw a picture to uplift those in foster care and send it to our PO box below or email (letterstofosterchildren@gmail.com)as a photo, pdf, etc. Even small actions can make a huge difference.

Dear Friend,

I just wanted to take a moment to remind you how strong, important, and valued you are. Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes things may feel difficult, but please know that you are not alone. There are people out here who care about you and believe in your future, even if we haven’t met yet.

No matter what challenges come your way, you have the power to rise above them. You have so much to offer the world, and your story is still being written. Keep dreaming big, stay hopeful, and never doubt how amazing you are. You deserve love, happiness, and all the good things life has to offer.

I hope this letter brings even a small smile to your face. Keep being your incredible self—you are enough just as you are.

Sending you warmth and encouragement,
Caitlin
