"It's been really rewarding to be able to offer respite and temporary care to have supported Youthnet. My foster guest and I made 'helper bags' to keep in my car for folks we encounter in need, made Halloween candy bags for his family, decorated cookies, and he even told me about Bellingham's best $1 tacos and we went 2 days in a row! Respite and temporary care is always needed, especially now..." - Cathy
