If you’ve listened to our other podcast, The Forgotten Podcast, you know our heart for children, families, and workers in foster care. Today, we get to learn from one of our TFI Advocates, Dorothy Mendoza, about how we can extend compassion and be a Just Neighbor to our neighbors in the foster care community.
Dorothy is a foster, adoptive, and special needs mom. She also serves with us at The Forgotten Initiative as a TFI Advocate in the Bangor, Maine area. Having gone through a turbulent childhood herself, Dorothy knows firsthand what a blessing it is to have a stable, healthy home life—and she’s committed to giving back to others using the gifts God has given her.
In this episode, you’ll hear about ways that we can serve our vulnerable neighbors instead of keeping them at a distance, why it’s crucial to support overwhelmed caseworkers so they can better serve children, how we can encourage churches to get engaged with foster care by making the outreach personal, and more.
If Dorothy’s stories of hands-on advocacy resonate with you, consider applying to become a TFI Advocate. Applications are open until the end of November!
