There we go.
- Foster 180 began after our family had been foster family for about seven years.
My husband and I kept talking about how we had found resources that really helped us do fostering well, and so Foster 180 began with us just looking for and connecting resources that we had found with foster families in Wilson County.
It has since grown to support grandparents, relative caregivers within our community.
- [Interviewer] Let's back up to the deck.
How big is your deck?
- [Jenny] Foster 180 has created a program to come alongside those grandparents in very specific ways.
If you know that there is a family that looks a little bit different, right?
It's aunt and uncles, or grandparents, every person has the ability to care about that family.
Not everybody's gonna be called to foster care, but as a Tennesseean, I think we need to care about every child.
