What I am interested in are leads on some assistance to start a group/foster home. They are very much in need in our area and being a foster child myself, I truly want to put back into the system what was put into me. I have been researching foundations, etc. Which is how I found THIS really awesome site. I just would like direction if anyone knows of any. I have contacted our local foster agency and have started the classes and requirements to be a provider. Unfortunately I need to have all the beds, dressers and numerous start up items. I would like to start with a foster home and eventually a group home to accomodate more children in need. We are currently looking for a house with property to purchase here in Western NY. Someplace that kids can just be...kids. So am making preparations in advance.
Thank you for your time and best of luck to you all.
Christine
