: Back in 2020, Jackie Belgica decided to become a foster parent because she wanted to open her home to a child who needed one. She didn't know who that child would be. She just knew she was ready to become someone's safe place.
That child turned out to be Pia.
Pia was only 2 years old when she was welcomed into Jackie's home through foster care. Today, at 7 years old, she's a cheerful little girl who loves to draw and sing. She is also a child with ADHD.
Like many families, their journey has come with adjustments. There were therapy sessions, new routines, and days that tested everyone's patience. But there were also moments that reminded Jackie why she chose this path in the first placeโwatching Pia become more confident, seeing her enjoy school, and celebrating milestones that once felt out of reach.
Five years later, Jackie still finds joy in the little things. It's hearing Pia sing around the house, admiring another drawing she's proudly made, or watching her light up whenever she learns something new. Those moments may seem ordinary, but to Jackie, they're the ones she'll always treasure.
We celebrate foster families like theirs and the difference a loving home can make. Every child deserves the chance to grow at their own pace, discover what they love, and know there's a family cheering them on every step of the way. ๐๐โค๏ธ
