Become a foster parent!<\/p>\n<p>Every child deserves the chance to grow up in a nurturing home with a loving family. Unfortunately, this is not the case for many children. Thousands of children are abused or neglected by the people who are supposed to care for them the most: their parents. These children are left broken and vulnerable, stripped of their ability to trust. They have damaged self images and never believe they are truly safe and secure.<\/p>\n<p>Dare Family Services is a private, nonprofit social services agency which provides a highly specialized type of foster care called Mentor. Dare provides Mentor homes for children who have been removed from their biological families due to abuse or neglect.<\/p>\n<p>Every day, compassionate individuals open their homes and their hearts to give these children a second chance. These specialized foster parents, or Mentors, provide care, support, and help guide children into adulthood.<\/p>\n<p>Dare Family Services currently looking for homes in MetroWest for local foster kids. If you have a desire to help a child in need of a family, please call Marilyn, (mdavidson@darefamily.org) or Janelle (Jmoore@darefamily.org)at (617) 628-3696.
