Hello Friends,

Summer is upon us and it's a wonderful time for families to take vacations, enjoy pool parties and all the fun summer brings here in beautiful San Diego. 

But for families challenged by financial strain, drug and alcohol addiction and little to no family support, the summer months can be anything but joyful for the children in their care. Unfortunately, cases of physical abuse are higher during these months and the number of children needing loving foster families rises accordingly.   

Beth and Amy, two and three year old sisters who are the youngest in a family of five children, are an example of two little ones sitting in a nearby shelter awaiting a foster home. Sadly, we did not have a family available for these beautiful toddlers.

We salute all our foster families for being open to welcoming babies as they come to us, and we congratulate our summer class of graduates about to open up their homes and hearts to their first placements.  We have plans to launch a large county-wide campaign to recruit more families for more babies in need, so watch for Angels outreach commercials in the coming months. Consider opening up your home and hearts to a child in need.

Happy summer to all our families, friends and supporters!

Warmest regards,

Cathy Richman
