#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.
