Sierra is committed to providing every resource available to help youth find permanency. Removing children from the foster care system and placing them with permanent loving families helps:
- Break the cycle of abuse, poverty and homelessness
- Provide a loving and nurturing environment for a child
- Save the community approximately $75,000 annually per child placed into permanency out of foster care
- Benefit everyone by building and strengthening families and communities
- Enhance a child’s quality of life
We need your help!
