Letters from past audience members:  

“Dear Lisa,

 Thank you for coming to speak with our foster parents… You have an incredible story to tell– our foster parents were enthralled hearing it… You reminded us once again that for most of our foster children there is so much they hide and are ashamed of– and we have so little knowledge of their past experiences and traumas… We hope to have you back again in the future… I wish you well on your Foster Carriers endeavor; it is a noble mission.

-Judy Webb, Rancho Jireh Foster Homes
