Life After is a four-part live podcast series presented by Fostering Futures Foundation, sharing powerful stories of resilience, healing, survival, and hope. At the heart of our work is a simple belief: people should have the opportunity to tell their own stories, in their own words, and in their own way. Life After provides a public platform for individuals with lived experience to do exactly that—without being reduced to what happened to them.

Through honest conversations about foster care, exploitation, kidnapping, drug-infested environments, suicidal ideation, trauma, and generational hardship, our guests also share what helped them move forward. The series highlights the role of education, community, spirituality, supportive relationships, self-care, resilience, and access to resources in building meaningful lives after adversity.

Help Us Raise $6,000

Our goal is to raise $6,000 to support:

Scholarships for young people with foster care experience.

When you support Life After, you are doing more than funding a podcast. You are helping create a venue where lived experiences can be shared with dignity, helping viewers discover resources and strategies for healing, and helping young people with foster care experience continue their education and career development.
