When you BUY lAUNCHPAD

You Support a cause.

• More than 80,000 children age 11+ (41% ) are at risk of aging out of foster care without having stable support structures to fall back on when life gets hard.

• These kids also aren’t being given what they need to succeed.

• As children, they are expected to launch into adulthood without stable safety nets, consistent guidance, or conditions designed for real development. When things fall apart (and they do), no effective supports are built in to catch them or successfully relaunch them.

• What happens is predictable and brutal: homelessness, addiction, exploitation, incarceration, or raising children without the abilities to do this well. The personal toll is devastating.

• The cost of not minimizing these gaps extends into billions of lost dollars in child welfare alone and trillions to society at large.

• These outcomes aren’t due to a lack of effort or funding.

• People and systems can only give what they have to give, but when the pieces these young children need are missing, even the best intentions fall short.

• Launchpad reveals the 20 blocks that keep 92% of us from reaching our potential and shows how these same gaps impact our foster youth the most severely.

• We certainly can do better than this!

• trk (The Remarkable Kingdom) will become the load bearing environment that carries the weight, so the children can grow.

• Let’s give these kids their wings!
