Osvaldo M., Foster Youth

“One thing I’ve realized is that you have to be willing to accept the help that’s offered. You can take control of your future. FURS provided me with so many resources. Housing, bus passes, job opportunities, and more. They made a real impact on my life. FURS played a huge role in getting me to this point. They don't just help former and current foster youth. They give us hope, direction, and tools we need to succeed.”
