Ptomely who I work with through Raise the Future, was featured on KSL. Please watch and share with your loved ones and all friends. As I shared in my interview, “autism shouldn’t be a barrier to having a family and having permanent love” 💙

I hope someone sees this video and reaches out wanting to adopt!

Like many boys his age, Ptolemy loves loud toys, games, and music. But how he enjoys them is unique to him. Ptolemy is autistic.

Every young person goes through life knowing they have a caring adult by their side. So, every day, we show up for kids in foster care by listening to their needs and introducing them to adults they can rely on. We then surround those connections with support so that they grow into meaningful, lasting relationships that help our youth heal from the past.

When a connection is made, it’s just the beginning of a child’s transition into a better life. Youth need time, space, and services to properly heal and their new families need tremendous support to make their connections last. Without it, many children end up back in the system and the foster care cycle continues. We have a moral obligation to provide families with the resources and services they need to maintain their relationships and develop connections that last a lifetime.

Because to truly raise the future, we must raise the bar for what it means to support vulnerable youth and families as they navigate life.
