“When a stranger is willing to give up their time in their life for children like me, children in foster care that’ve been through abuse, and make them feel like, you do have a family– yes it’s not your mom– but you do have a family, and it’s us, New Yorkers for Children.”

“New Yorkers for Children taught me to dream, and to keep dreaming– once you have one dream, you have another, and another… and once you have confidence in yourself and confidence that you can do it, you will do it.”

“New Yorkers for Children has really opened up my eyes to a new world. Because I know there are people standing on the sidelines rooting for me, and I don’t want to let them down.”
