#GreaterThan Series

Real Stories From Foster Youth.

Why #GreaterThan?

#GreaterThan is a storytelling series built on the beliefs that:

Every foster youth is greater than the statistics used to define them.

Every young adult has the power to be greater than the circumstances they were born into.

And all of us have the chance to be greater today than we were yesterday.

These aren't inspiration stories for the sake of it. They're proof that the statistics were never the whole story.

Share Your Story

If you have experience in foster care, we’d love to hear your story.

Whether you’re reflecting on your experience in or aging out of foster care, sharing where you are today and what you’re working toward, or celebrating a recent win you’re proud of, your story matters—and we want to hear it.

As a thank you for sharing, we’ve partnered with One Simple Wish, an organization that grants wishes up to $425 to individuals impacted by foster care. Our team will submit a wish on your behalf as a small token of our appreciation.

My advice would be: how you react to your situation will determine how you come out of your situation. Embrace learning opportunities and life lessons.
