Melania Trump, in her first sit-down interview since leaving The White House, shares with Fox & Friends about her "Foster the Future" initiative and her recent tour of Place of Hope. 

When speaking about foster children and youth, foster parents and young adults who age out of foster care she explains, "they need our support, resources, empowerment to achieve their American Dream."

On Tuesday, the Former First Lady posted on her social media, "I am grateful that organizations like @placeofhope exist to support families & children in the foster care community. During #NationalFosterCareMonth, it is crucial that we raise awareness & provide resources to set children on track to achieve their fullest potential."

"We are so thankful that Mrs. Trump visited our flagship campus and took time to learn about our model of care and most importantly spend quality meaningful time with a group of former foster youth who all continue to be involved with Place of Hope. She made them feel very special simply because of her genuine heart for them and desire to help foster systemic change."

Since opening our doors in 2001, Place of Hope has served over 21,000 foster children, homeless and aged out youth, single moms with children, families in transition, and human trafficking survivors. We are on track to serve between 5,000 - 10,000 each year across our regional footprint. 

We cannot do this without the dedication and support of our committed donors. Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do. 

Consider a gift today to continue providing hope and healing for thousands of children and youth who are hurting. Thank you.
