A Holiday Treat for Tamaine

Posted Dec 22, 2022
The holidays can be a tough time of year for youth who experienced foster care. Tamaine aged out of foster care, which means he does not even have the support of the former agency and the system overall. He is a tremendous advocate for change in the system. Please help Tamaine purchase a special treat just for himself this holiday season!

Tamaine is 30 years old and lives in NY

Tamaine is a former foster youth from NYC. He is an amazing young man who beat the odds numerous times throughout his life. In his teen years he was involved with the juvenile justice system, but turned his life around and now mentors other young men in a similar situations. He also beat lung cancer, losing a partial lung but strengthening his will and purpose to inspire others. Tamaine impresses everyone who meets him; despite (and because of) his experiences, he is full of love and inspiration, and is committed to spending his life advocating for others.
