“I didn’t know I could be accepted and cared about like this.”

That’s what 15-year-old Jordan said to his foster dad, Louis, who welcomed him in during one of the hardest chapters of Jordan's life.

Jordan had spent years feeling like he didn’t belong. But with Louis, he finally felt safe. Seen. Accepted. Slowly, the walls came down. He started smiling more. Trusting more. Dreaming again.

Foster parents like Louis change lives... not by being perfect, but by showing up with love, patience and an open heart.

PTSD doesn’t always look like panic.
Sometimes it looks like perfectionism.
Avoiding school.
Zoning out.
Saying “I’m fine” when they’re not.

Not every child or teen can explain how they feel. That’s why how we listen and how we respond matters so much. 💚
