When Love Is Ready, But the Home Isn’t . . .
When Maria got the call that her two young grandsons needed a safe place to stay, she didn’t hesitate.
“Of course they can come here,” she said.
But love alone wasn’t enough to bring them home.
To meet safety requirements for placement, Maria needed things she simply couldn’t afford on her fixed income: a bunk bed, a smoke detector, and a locking cabinet for medications. She worried that without those items, the boys might have to go somewhere else.
That’s where Boost a Foster Family stepped in.
Within days, Maria had the beds, safety equipment, and household essentials needed to pass the home inspection. Her grandsons didn’t have to move in with strangers—they came home to family. Today, the boys are thriving with their own room and the comfort of knowing their grandmother is right down the hall.
