🌍 Children who face neglect often struggle to transition into adulthood. Many are placed in group homes or foster care, frequently moving between families. In Canada, over 30,000 youth are in foster care, including nearly 8,600 in Ontario each month. They urgently need financial support for their well-being.
Neglected youth face tough transitions to adulthood due to lifelong challenges. They often deal with health issues, mental disorders, and substance abuse. Many lack basic needs like dental care, medical services, and proper clothing.
🫡 Supporting vulnerable youth is a global challenge, but as high schoolers, we focus on creating tangible change within our local community, where we have the most impact.
