In this Good Day Kansas segment, Saint Francis Ministries spotlights David, a behavioral interventionist and longtime foster parent. Growing up in a household that welcomed neighborhood kids and watching his grandmother foster, David always felt called to provide a safe and supportive space for children. Through his work with Saint Francis Ministries, he’s been able to carry on that legacy—meeting the emotional and physical needs of kids who need it most.
David encourages anyone considering foster care to take that first step—not with pressure, but with purpose. With over 800 children in Kansas currently in need of homes, the opportunity to offer love, safety, and stability is more urgent than ever. He emphasizes that fostering is about planting seeds—offering kindness and care that can last a lifetime. With training and support from Saint Francis Ministries, families can feel confident in discerning whether foster care is the right fit. As David says, the impact may be hard to put into words, but it’s deeply real—and deeply needed.
