00:00So we have no idea when we're going to sleep tonight, you guys, so as much as we can, at

00:08least $45, so then we can get a room.

00:11There will be times where I come home from school and my mom will be so doped out.

00:15She will be sleeping on the couch and I'd be banging on the door and she would not wake

00:18up.

00:19My father is locked up.

00:22Last time I heard, my mother was locked up.

00:24I haven't heard from her since I was a kid.

00:28Growing up with my mom, she was a drug addict and drank a lot.

00:33She would abuse me, my brother, and sisters.

00:37We can't even get in a foster home if we want to because nobody wants us because we're grown.

00:41I really want to cry right now.

00:42It's a bad feeling, you know, like just to be, feel worthless like that.

00:45We have to be responsible for our kids.

00:48They are trouble.

00:50They do have challenges.

00:52They're more scared than they are harmful.

00:56I have a 21-year-old young man that is homeless and needs a place to live.

01:00I wanted to know if you had any THP funds.

01:01I want this alcohol.

01:02Listen to me.

01:06I feel kind of obligated to be an example for other people in my situation who actually

01:12believe the statistic is the way of life.

01:16A high percentage of foster youth don't make it anywhere in life.

01:21You don't live through what some of us live through and just get over it.

01:27We didn't ask to be put in foster care.

01:30We didn't ask to even live this type of life necessarily.

01:35Care for them.

01:36Care where they are every day.

01:38Care what happens to them.

01:39Care how they're served.

01:41Care how they're managing because they have lost their parents.
