The Ones Who Stayed Foundation provides practical, relational, nonclinical support for foster youth, former foster youth, foster families, and transition-age youth in Kentucky.
To provide practical, relational, nonclinical support that helps foster youth, former foster youth, foster families, and transition-age youth feel supported, prepared, and less alone.
A community where youth and families impacted by foster care have steady people, useful resources, and support that does not disappear when life gets hard.
We help youth and families with practical support before stress becomes crisis.
We help young adults connected to foster care prepare for housing, work, supplies, and independence.
We build volunteer, donor, and community partnerships around youth and families.
“The biggest barrier to children becoming a success story is adults.”
