TO THE FOUNDATION’S SUPPORTERSAT ALL LEVELS

Mission

We Believe

Zach’s Story

For five long years, Zach didn’t have a permanent place to call home. Fortunately, with support from his Wendy’s Wonderful Kids recruiter and supporters like you, Zach was adopted at age 11. Today, he’s in college and dreams of becoming a teacher.

Dramatically increase the number of adoptions of children waiting in North America’s foster care systems.

Every child deserves a safe, loving and permanent family.

No child should linger in foster care or leave the system at age 18 or 21 without a permanent family of their own.

Every child is adoptable.

We’ve given Zach a home, stability and someone who is going to be there for him no matter what,” says Zach’s

mom, Kim. “I wonder all the time, where would Zach be if

he didn’t have a family?
