When a young person leaves foster care, the support system they’ve known often disappears overnight.

No family safety net.
No backup plan.
Just adult responsibilities—housing appointments, work schedules, court dates—without reliable transportation or consistent support.

Consistency is what changes outcomes.

That’s why Bridge Builders, our community of monthly donors, exists. Monthly gifts create a steady safety net so youth aging out of foster care are never navigating life alone.

Your monthly gift provides stability for one young person for an entire year:

💛 $20/month — Essential support like hygiene items, clothing basics, school or work supplies, and emergency assistance when life happens.

🚌 $35/month — Transportation for a year: bus passes, gas cards, and rides to work, school, housing appointments, and medical care.

🏠 $50/month — Ongoing case management and stability support, connecting youth to housing, employment, life skills, and consistent advocacy.

As we expand our Foster Youth to Independence housing services into Chesapeake in 2026, monthly donors make it possible to plan ahead, respond quickly, and ensure no young person falls through the cracks.

🌉 Become a Bridge Builder today- because no young person should have to walk alone.
