All kids, no matter the life they are born into should have the opportunity to feel loved, protected, and safe. That someone is on their side because they want to be, not simply because the state has appointed them to be. Galyons was created to be a place of support for every part of the foster care community. A reference for employees, a resource for foster parents, and most importantly, a family kids can trust as they jump into adulthood. We encourage the kids to be accountable for their success and reward them for the small wins as well as the big leaps into the next phase of life. All while getting community members involved to rally around each kid and help them succeed. Your donation helps to provide children in foster care with daily necessities, and set them up for independent success. > North Carolina Foster Care Statistics < - Over 12,000 Kids In Foster Care - 5,436 Licensed Foster Homes - Neglect Is The Leading Cause Of Children In Foster Care - Within four years of aging out: (18-21) -- 70% will be on government assistance. -- 50% will be unemployed. -- 50% will experience homelessness. -- 25% will not finish high school. -- And fewer than 12% will ever earn a college degree.
