“Every child deserves a champion–an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best they can possibly be.”

Rita F. Pierson

“There are no unwanted children. Just unfound families.”

Anonymous

“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say ‘It’s not my child, not my community, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.”

Fred Rogers

“A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove… but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.”

Forest E Witcraft

“It takes a village to raise a child.”

African proverb

“For these are all our children. We will all profit by, or pay for, whatever they become.”

James Baldwin
