Happy Black History Month from your friends at FFC! 🖤 This February, we want to continue honoring local heroes MAKING history. Meet our first local hero, Nyasha Nedd Wright. She is the Case Management Director at ChildNet, and has been in child welfare for 16 years. To Nyasha, Black History Month is a celebration of “because of them I am!” and a time she is most proud to wear & learn more to support Black Culture. Reflecting on her time in child welfare, Nyasha recalled one of the most impactful moments being her supervisor seeing her leadership potential that she did not see in herself. Nyasha is now proud to grow leaders who look like her and are confident. In her years of experience, Nyasha has learned to offer grace and not back down when right is right. 🙌 Thank you for all you’ve done for children in foster care, Nyasha!! #BlackHistoryMonth #FosteringHappyChildhoods #BHM #LocalHeroes #Foster #PalmBeach

FFC is so lucky to have had Nick as a volunteer for over a year now. On top of playing with our kids, teaching them the power of music, and spreading awareness at SunFest with us, Nick is creating a campaign to raise money for our mission! 🙌 Here’s what he has to say about his WHY: “Searching for a meaningful way to create a positive impact in my community, I began volunteering for Friends of Foster Children, an organization that champions child welfare by providing services, support, and education to overcome the effects of child abuse and neglect. Spending time with these kids helped transform my perspective on life to find my purpose within music and establish a more meaningful role as a member of my community. Friends of Foster Children is a lifeline for foster families. This organization’s commitment to foster children of Palm Beach County is more than a contribution to these families, it is an essential investment in the future of our community. Their mission to foster happy childhoods has a critical impact on future generations to make Palm Beach County the best community possible.” Join Nick in his fundraising efforts and #BeTheChange by donating to his campaign! https://friendsoffosterchildren.harnessgiving.org/campaigns/13589 Can’t donate?
