Budget Better Recipes: Monkey Bread
October 9, 2008What Makes You Happy? A Painted Room…
October 11, 2008Check out my article today at Catholic Exchange, and decide for yourself!
WIth 500,000 children currently in need of temporary or permanent homes … TODAY, Christians who want to affirm the dignity and value of human life from conception to natural death can do no better than to open their hearts and homes to a child.
It doesn’t matter how old you are, or how rich. The other day at the Post-Gazette I read this heartwarming story of a couple who has been fostering kids for 35 years!
You don’t have to be a homeowner, or have a lot of money (foster kids come with their own insurance, and are eligibale for all kinds of services to offset the expense of raising them).
You can be a single parent, or a working parent — many states offer daycare subsidies as well as college tuition for foster children (and former foster children). They are also eligible for free hot lunch and WIC.
All you need is a lot of love and patience, and a spare bed (children of the same sex can room together). And the willingness to be a force for good in a system that desperately needs a “Few Good (Wo)Men.”
