About Us
The issue we address
For many of us, our photos are the first thing we'd take in an emergency – our history and our prized possessions. We all have the need to preserve childhood memories.
Abused and neglected children who have been removed from their families, often do not have pictures, scrapbooks or even a person who can remind them of their childhood experiences.
How We Help
Fostering Memories is dedicated to providing foster children, growing up in San Diego County group homes and facilities, with photographs and scrapbooks to permanently document the ages and stages of their lives, capturing for their later years, permanent records of their experiences and memories of growing up.
- Our photographers take pictures of children at a Fostering Memories event. These pictures are then printed and returned to the children directly; including copies of pictures they can share with their friends.
- Our scrapbookers help children to create memory books.
- Finally, our professional staff archives these pictures, preserving confidentiality, and allow children to retrieve copies – to replace any lost photos – as they enter adulthood.
