Bucks for Kids
Everyone does better when they have someone in their corner rooting for them. Even more than other kids, Foster Kids need the “EXTRAS” often denied to them. Every month, the Foster Children’s caseworkers apply to Bucks for Kids on behalf of individual children explaining their particular unmet need and Bucks for Kids funds the activity or item. Typical Requests include funds for tutoring, music lessons, clothing, beds, uniforms, computers, graduation and prom expenses, college application fees, class trips, and many other “extras” that other kids take for granted.
