It’s not too late to help celebrate the achievements of our OK Foster Grads!

Grad Party THIS WEEK!!

Did you know that approximately 50% of kids in foster care ever graduate from high school and less than 2% go on to finish college or trade school. These kids have beaten the odds! They are over-comers!  We are proud to honor their accomplishment to better themselves!

It’s not too late if you would like to contribute to celebrating this accomplishment. Please contact us at okfosterwishes@gmail.com to make a contribution and/or donation!

Buy a gift for a grad online & ships to the party!
