I gotta be honest, I have no clue what day I'm on, I've been working on this for a while. However, I've gotten a couple of really big WINS this week alone.
I'll share the one I just got. My plan for today was (is) to call the list that I have of foster care facilities in Missouri.
The first one I call the receptionist transferred me to someone who could assist me. That lead me to Tamara, we spoke for 40 minutes. She was extremely encouraging and is in full support of The Franklin Tree and all of our programs. She even likes the idea that it isn't a 501(c)3 nonprofit. She gave me other places to call and "pick their brain" to get even more information.
I learned about Extended Care (which I had no clue about), so we will for sure accept young women from the Extended Care foster facility. That is where young adults who have aged out of foster care don't want to leave. (Of course because they have no home, no family, no support).
This was a huge win and a big douse of gasoline into my already burning FIRE. I just emailed her my (UPDATED) pitch deck so that she can see the vision that I told her about.
This is really coming alive! 🙌🏾 🙏🏾 God's Hands are all over it and Me!
