Joe Reardon: Our kids’ health and economic well-being go hand in hand [KansasCity.com]

Tyler and Alexis were little when they were placed in foster care. For years, they bounced from house to house. They were scared, lonely and unsure of their future. All they had, literally, was each other.

Today they are thriving. Excelling at school, living in a loving home, admired and respected by their peers and contributing to our community as mentors for other young adults.

Too many children face difficult circumstances like Tyler and Alexis. All children have unlimited potential, but only if they receive the care, guidance and love they need to grow up healthy.
