From Renae Adelsberger, President, Jackson Madison County Foster Parent Association –
With the start of the fall semester just around the corner, foster children in Madison County find themselves in need of school uniforms and school supplies. These children came into foster care through no fault of their own. Rather, due to abuse or neglect, the state of Tennessee felt that removal from their home would be the best way to protect them. These children often enter a foster family with only the clothes they are wearing. It is then the responsibility of foster parents to provide school uniforms and school supplies.
We are asking our community to show our Madison county children who are in foster care that they are love by their city. We have 62 children in foster care in Madison County alone. Over half of these children are school aged.
To donate school uniforms, please see the shopping list on our website, www.jacksonfosters.com. Or – let us do the shopping for you – financial donations can also be given at our website.
Renae Adelsberger, President of the Madison County Foster Parent Association says, “Being a foster parent is one of the hardest things my husband and I have done. Receiving new school uniforms has been a blessing to our family. It reminds us that we are not alone in caring for these children. Plus, the children are beyond excited! So many of them have never had brand new clothes with the tags still on them. One of my greatest joys as President of the Association is handing these uniforms to our foster children in Madison County.”
