Changing young adult lives one-by-one through love, faith, and fostering
My Story...
​
My name is DeAnthony, and I am so grateful for Faith and Fostering. When I joined Faith and Fostering, I had left foster care and my guardian’s house. I had nowhere to go. I couldn’t return to my little sister’s father’s house and decided to go to my mom’s. There were crack pipes everywhere, and chemicals from the crack were even in the air. It was so strong, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Someone told me to put towels in all the openings around my door, but that didn’t help.
Man, I never want to go through that again.
​​​​​​​​​​That is when someone told me about Faith and Fostering. They have a whole team of people that really care for you and are positive. They give you advice and direction that matters and helps you with life and growing up. Also, there are other people there that have gone through similar situations. There are a bunch of nonprofits, but to me, no one compares to Faith and Fostering. They are consistent and offer you detailed things to do, one by one. I can do that! It’s a beautiful thing!
​
In Faith and Fostering, I have met people that truly want me to succeed.
So far, I have:
-
obtained a State I.D.
-
opened a checking and savings account
-
learned how to use public transportation
-
maintain full-time employment
-
completed the written portion of the driver’s education
-
created a budget plan
-
have healthy relationships that I can depend on

I have a mentor that really helps me, and his name is Chris.
He is amazing! I respect him for so many reasons. He is calm and collected, and he always listens.
He is dependable and always there when I call. He is also smart and kind. I just appreciate him for being there for me.
I’m excited about my future. I’m not rushing and setting some good foundations. I hope to work on a book and do an open mic one day. I also hope to connect with people like Faith and Fostering has with me.
Thank you for helping Faith and Fostering help me.

Thank you,
