YOU GOTTA BELIEVE (YGB), founded in 1995, focuses exclusively on finding permanent parents and families for kids in foster care with an expertise in working with young adults, teens, and pre-teens who are most in danger of aging out of the system alone.
Today, more than 400,000 children are in foster care in the US, and every year, as many as 17,000 of them will age out of the foster care system. Without the safety net of a forever family to provide the security and comfort most take for granted, these young people are left on their own to face a future filled with hardships - from lack of education to unemployment, higher rates of incarceration, poor health, early parenthood and homelessness (as much as 40 percent of these kids will experience this devastation in their lifetimes). In New York City alone, there are hundreds of kids currently awaiting adoption, with more than 900 kids on the verge of aging out.
COVID-19 has created many challenges that disproportionately impact kids in foster care and young people who have aged out without being connected to a loving family. Imagine yourself at 19, 21, or 24. Imagine being alone in New York during the pandemic and needing to shelter in place all by yourself. What if you lose your job? Your apartment? What do you do? Where do you go? Who do you call when you don’t have a family?
For too many kids who age out of foster care, there is no family to turn to for support. COVID-19 is shining a light on the precarious situations faced by these young people. Those in independent living are asked to face shelter in place, in literal isolation. For the college students who were sent home for the semester, many foster kids were in a panic because they have no home. They had nowhere to go, creating a crisis of potential homelessness. They begged universities to let them stay on campus where they may have felt safe but were still alone and in crisis.
It’s moments like this that You Gotta Believe's work to connect older kids in foster care is more critical than ever. Finding a family should always be the number one priority for every child in foster care. There is no substitute for the support it provides throughout life and especially when emergencies arise.

I use to babysit Nathan at one of those foster care homes! I loved him
I am so sad for him
Well, then you should know that his name is spelled "Nathen," not "Nathan."
It's just sad that we lost such a wonderful and caring human being. May he rest in peace ✌. Sending prayers to his son on the lost of his dad.
I loved Willie Garson, he was absolutely amazing on Sex and the City, as well as for other television and movie appearances. He made the shows extra special because of his uncanny ability to make people laugh and bring smiles to those who really needed one. I am shock to hear about his sudden passing. He will be extremely missed, always but he can now bring smiles to heaven. RIP.
Love that he adopted an older kid since everyone wants babies. 💔💔💔
I just learned of Willie's passing. Sighhh, so very sad. I loved his comedic timing and all of his characters. He will be missed so much by his son, family, relatives, and by his fans.
RIP Dear Willie Garson
Oh my gosh, how heartbreaking that he just lost his wonderful father. I hope the love that Willie Garson gave him will see him through this unspeakable loss.
RIP Willie, you were obviously such a lovely person and great dad.
Boys of color in the foster care system who reach 7 - almost never get adopted. They end up in juvie, then prison or homeless. Willie changed this boy's life. My heart goes out to him now that he's lost his dad - but I'm sure Willie raised him to be strong.
True usually people like to adopt babies.
Much better dad than many people have or had, will be missed.
I’m so sad about his passing! RIP Willie!
RIP Willie. You were Amazing Person 🧡
Bless him and his family. RIP Willie Garson.
So sad. God Bless his son.
That's so sweet, I hope Nathan will be ok after this tragic news.
Willie Garson, you will be missed ❤️
Thank you for sharing. I am so happy for more people to hear about You Gotta Believe and to learn more about family for older kids in foster care!
Icried watching this.. it's really sad:( I didn't know think I would react this way. But it's so sudden, he was so full of life, love, and light inside. I loved his projects but mostly I felt connected because of his kind, indifferent and caring personality. Gone way too soon ;( may you find the peace, Will. You gave the whole childhood and life to this kid, and that will never be taken away .
Very sad. I hope the young man has great memories
Willie Garson🕊
RIP ❤
Who’s looking after Nathan now??? So sad
💙
RIP
🙏😇🌹
You can drop the word "adopted" when announcing his "son" . It's his SON, plain and simple.
Is the kid SAFE?
I thought the woman interviewing is Sophia Vergara. And Willie Garson Looks like Red in BlackList. R.I.P
RiP
And now the kid is orphaned again, sad.
He’s an adult
@@AussieGirl235 And?
CALife - An orphan is a child without parents. He’s a grown man.
@@AussieGirl235 An adult can also be called an orphan, thanks.
CALife - That’s not a thing. You used that word because you thought he was a child and now you just can’t back down
