As the summer sun continues to shine brightly, a season of new beginnings arrives at Vashti. For many children, heading back to school sparks excitement about fresh supplies, reconnecting with friends, and familiar routines. Yet for our 20 foster youth, this moment symbolizes so much more.
It’s more than backpacks filled with pencils and notebooks—it’s about stepping forward with dignity, confidence, and a sense of belonging. It’s about walking through school doors knowing they are valued, loved, and supported every step of the way. At Vashti, back-to-school means nurturing hope and cultivating dreams.
We deeply understand the importance of education in empowering our children.
Many come to us needing extra support to catch up academically due to challenging situations they’ve experienced. Guiding them across the finish line to graduation is a significant milestone; last year, we proudly celebrated six graduates! At Vashti, we are committed to ensuring our youth receive the education and encouragement necessary to prepare them for success in the real world. Together, we’re creating a powerful foundation from which each child can grow, thrive, and blossom beautifully into their fullest potential.
We appreciate your support for this year’s B2S Campaign!
