A note from loyal reader Allison:

Hi Jason-

I wanted to pass this e-mail and flyer along to you in the hopes that you could help spread the word. I’m not sure if you or your readers are familiar with Professional Parenting, but they’re one of the oldest foster care agencies in WNC.

They handle some of the most heart-wrenching cases and have some of the most incredible success stories. The organization is an affiliate of Appalachian State University, but, as most state or state-affiliated agencies, they’ve been the victim of drastic budget cuts (not that their original budget was even that robust). Presently, they’re trying to raise funds to help temporarily relocate one of their foster families for medical procedures, as you can read about in the attached flyer. 

These people do amazing work, and I thought you would find the story compelling.
