More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesNationwide, more than 600,000 infants and children live in foster care. The number of foster care preemies has tripled in the last 20 years. Many of these infants who have suffered abuse and neglect have fallen through the cracks of our fractured child welfare system. Increased teen pregnancies and epidemic drug use by pregnant women have resulted in an escalating number of “Foster Care Preemies and infants who are medically fragile”. We need Nurses to bring them home. ActivitiesThe mission is to move medically fragile foster care babies and young children into private residences under the care of Registered and Licensed Vocational Nurses as their foster parents. Funding InformationTotal Funding Received to Date: $7,523 Additional DocumentationThis project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc). Resources
Why this Project is ImportantPotential Long Term ImpactDue to drug use,there will always be a need for compassionate, capable, trained and knowledgeable nurses willing to embrace medically fragile foster care infants and children and provide them with a loving, safe and nurturing home environment.

Latest Update from the FieldHelping Angels In Their Time of Need...By Linda Conforti RN - Foundation Owner, December 02, 2008 08:48 PM
We would like to thank our gracious supporters who donated their hard earned cash to our cause during this economic crisis. We not only have succeeded in obtaining a permanent position on Global Giving’s website, we also have recruited five more Registered Nurses to care for America's medically fragile foster care infants and children! Your donated dollars will go towards the recruitment and training of more qualified nurses for this worthy cause. Please continue to support America's abused and abandoned premature infants and children by passing on this noble endeavor to your family and friends. Due to our recent economic crisis, child abuse is increasing to alarming numbers across America. Our foster care infants and children need our help more now than ever! With state budget cuts impacting parenting classes and drug abuse/ rehab courses, America's infants and children are in greater risk for neglect and abuse. Please consider helping America's most precious resource… her children. Attachments: Comment on this update
