My amazing sister Angela is trying to win a $50,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Everything project to open up a group home for sibling groups in the foster system. Most foster homes don't have the accomodations to house more then one or two children from the same family, so those children are most often split up and placed in seperate homes. The group home Angela is trying to open up would be able to accomodate up to 10 siblings.
Angela needs this money to show proof that she has the funds to run the group home for the first year. Watch this video to learn more about sibling groups in the foster system

Imagine being a child and being placed in a foster home without your siblings. Imagine how alone you would feel. Angela already has a sibling group in mind for the home that she wants to open up. They are ages 6, 11, 13, and 15 and are living in seperate homes.
Please go and vote everyday until May 31st for Alegnas Homes at www.refresheverything.com/alegnashomes
