Leigh Esau, founder of the Foster Care Closet of Nebraska, joins the show to discuss the loss of state funding for her organization and what it means for children entering Nebraska’s foster care system. Esau explains how the Foster Care Closet works to restore dignity and choice for youth in crisis, and why meeting basic needs in the first hours of foster care can shape a child’s entire experience.
