Isriel

Throughout Isriel’s childhood, his mother struggled with raising her children. His grandmother, Eleanor, sacrificed everything to care for him and his six brothers. But sadly, she passed away when he was nine, and Isriel began his journey through foster care.

Like most children in care, he felt afraid and without anyone to rely on. He was living at a children’s shelter when he met Voices For Children’s President & CEO, who would go out of his way to make Isriel feel special.

Voices For Children does so much more than hand over checks. We are the ones to call, the hand to hold, the shoulder to cry on, and that is what kids like Isriel need to heal the hurt and break the cycle of abuse, abandonment, and neglect.
