It’s Easy to Donate!
Your donation will help foster positive change for children and families who need it most.
The Rewards
Imagine the chance to change the life of a youth forever. This is the kind of opportunity that fostering parenting can provide.
You can make a difference by:
- Connecting with a youth who has lost their connection to others
- Tending to a youth’s physical, emotional and social needs
- Helping a child or adolescent learn to trust and feel safe again
- Offering that child or adolescent a path to a better life
- Discovering some wonderful rewards along the way
You and your family will be trained and supported by a team of Wheeler Clinic professionals throughout the placement process. We offer monthly support groups and workshops, and we’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer questions or address a situation requiring immediate attention. A case manager is assigned to each youth to assist in ensuring that the needs of the youth and family are met. The youth’s medical, dental and therapeutic services are covered, and an enhanced monthly stipend is paid to the family to cover the youth’s routine expenses.
