Join us as we sit down with the ever-inspiring Andrew Bridge, whose life story is a testament to human resilience and the power of hope. Andrew takes us on an intimate journey from the depths of the LA foster care system, through the halls of Harvard Law, and into the heart of his mission to advocate for children in need. His reflections on the transformative nature of education, the importance of stable family environments, and his deep personal connection to the cause will leave you moved and motivated.

We explore the life-altering impact of those like Andrew who are dedicated to reforming the foster care and adoption systems. His contribution to initiatives such as National Adoption Day, along with a call to action for volunteerism with organizations like the Arizona Foster Care Review Board and court-appointed special advocates, reminds us that we all have a role to play. This episode is a call to action, urging each of us to engage in supporting the 400,000 children navigating the American foster care system—and to remember that even the smallest acts of kindness can echo in a child's life forever.
