๐ฃ Every year, about 4,000 youth age out of foster care in California alone.
No graduation party. No parent waiting at home. Just a birthday โ and a system that closes the door.
65% leave care at 18 with no place to call home. Without connection and community, the odds stack up fast.
That's why Compassion Planet exists โ to stand in the gap for transition-age foster youth, offering mentorship, resources, and a community that doesn't walk away when they turn 18.
๐ Because aging out shouldn't mean going it alone.
