Wheeler Foster Care Highlighted on Fox 61

Wheeler’s Chris Popilowski, senior foster care recruiter, appeared recently on Fox 61 and highlighted the need for stable, loving foster homes for children and youth.

In Connecticut, there are 4,000 children in foster care and hundreds more in need of a home.

Wheeler’s Foster Care programs, funded by the Department of Children and Families, provide 24-hour support to families and youth and a higher level of support and resources to assist families in meeting the needs of youth and children placed in their homes. This team works closely with children and potential families to create a match in which both family and youth grow and thrive.
