Please take a minute to read about these two young girls and how they are hoping to overcome their hardships and start a new life with their extended family in Mexico. There are so many youth who feel hopeless with no where to turn in this overwhelming world. Help us to help them and show there is compassion and a sense of hope in the world today.

I have had the privilege of getting to know these two young girls through our mentoring program at Fostering Success. It has been inspiring to see them grow over the past year as they have developed a relationship with their mentors and begun to have new hope for their future. Please consider helping them be reunited with their family - it will truly change their lives.

Fostering Success has two mentees that are trying to reunite with their family in Mexico. Recently the father of these two sisters had a terrible fall as a tree worker that left him disabled. Unfortunately, he passed away this past year. Please consider donating so we can help reunite these girls with their family in Mexico.

This April we would like to highlight our mentor Robyn. Thank you for continuing to make an impact for Fostering Success! Read below to find out about this experience has been about for Robyn. "Working with my mentee has been incredible. I feel so honored to be someone that she trusts enough to turn to when she needs support and also when she has something to celebrate. She is an incredible young person--she's smart, passionate, and kind and seeing her blossom into a strong young woman has been inspiring. I feel lucky to get to be a part of her journey into adulthood and am grateful to Fostering Success' for providing such critical resources and services to our youth.

Fostering Success was officially launched in March of 2021 by founding members, Danielle Valkner, Kristi Wisdom, Kathie Smith, Liz Sutherland, and Allie Valkner. In 2022, our first round of mentors met their mentees. And since then, the organization has continued to grow. Thank you to our amazing mentor team, Project Access at U-46, our Board of Directors, our employees, our donors, and everyone else who has helped to contribute to our mission of creating a community of support for teens navigating life challenges during their transition into adulthood. We couldn't do it without you!
