Meet Ocean
Ocean entered foster care at 13, facing years of uncertainty and instability. By 18, he was on his own, unsure of how to move forward. Through Faitbridge Foster Care and Fostering Success Act, he found the support he needed—housing, education funding, and a community that believed in him.
Meet JC
J.C., a senior at Kennesaw State University, shares how the Fostering Success Act has been a game-changer in his life. After aging out of foster care, he faced financial challenges that made it difficult to focus on school. Thanks to the Fostering Success Act, he received support for essentials like housing and car repairs, allowing him to thrive in college and secure an internship at Jackson Healthcare. His story is proof that investing in foster youth changes lives and strengthens Georgia’s future workforce.
