(4) A lot of people supported my walk but not everyone did and not everyone will support your passion/mission and it doesn’t have to be a 7 month walk — do it anyway without any “other” expectations whatsoever — and don’t give up. That/this is how you make real positive change.

(3) During my walk I learned most politicians didn’t know about “aging out.” in fact 99% of people I informed during the walk never heard of foster children aging out of foster care at 18 and into homelessness. People became passionate about helping. Some even walked with me.

(2) I share this with you not to boast but to inspire & encourage you to do something positive about whatever it is you’re passionate about in this country. I’m passionate about helping foster youth so I walked 1/2 across America to raise awareness for those aging out at 18.

(1) In 2010 I campaigned with (then Assembly member) @Jimbealljr in Sac. CA for AB-12 A bill to extend foster care services from 18 to 21 in California)
In September 2010 Gov. Arnold @Schwarzenegger signed that bill into law which changed childrens lives forever.

January is human trafficking prevention month, and there is no group in the U.S. more at risk than children in foster care. 74% of likely child sex trafficked victims were in foster care when they went missing. Loving support systems for foster youth prevent trafficking!

Cool show .. but then I walked 1,700 miles from Nashville to Phoenix to raise awareness to the plight of 30,000 #foster youth aging out of foster care into homelessness every year in America — NOW THAT WAS COOL. 🙏🇺🇸

20k youth age out of foster care every year without a permanent family. Are you #AllINforWaitingKids to ensure that doesn't happen?

Thinking about all the kids in the rural areas who’s only transportation to a school house was a school bus and the only person who’d report child abuse was the school teacher. – at Nashville, TN

When I was a boy my sister & I got free lunch at school. That was the ONLY time we ate. We dreaded the weekends & holidays. It’s been on my mind this week about all the kids going w/o food & stuck at home all week/year. America we’ve got to put the kids FIRST. 🙏🇺🇸 – at Nashville, TN

Older kids deserve a family as much as anyone else!!!

Foster care is a challenging landscape for teenagers, and there are more of them in the system than we often think.
Our podcast interviewed Caitlin, a former Second Story youth, about her experience as a teenager in foster care. It's a must-listen:
