Helping Children in U.S. Foster Care

Last month, a Humans of New York series followed Charell Star, a young woman who was raised in foster care after her great-grandmother became ill and could no longer care for her. She cycled through cruel homes and eventually, thanks to early encouragement from her great-grandmother, landed in a boarding school that brought new opportunities along with more challenges. What can we do to support children in the U.S. foster care system?
