MORE ABOUT FOSTER*A*LIFE

Foster*A*Life was the idea of psychologist, Dr. Shaun H. Keel, who spent over 30 years working with abused and neglected children including foster children on a regular basis. In working with thousands of these children, it has been heartbreaking to hear these children cry about losing their families. Of course, they also are distressed about the abuse or neglect they suffered. There are often comments from these children about not having things in life that most children want to have and what many children take for granted such as being able to play on a summer baseball team, having a birthday party or just shopping at the mall. As a mother, Dr. Keel always wanted to do more than she was able to do through her practice of psychology. Therefore, she created Foster*A*Life so that these “forgotten” children of the Lubbock area could have special dreams to help them feel important and to help improve their self-esteem. With the help of her friends and family, Foster*A*Life was established and the agency quickly began fulfilling foster children’s dreams. The first brainstorming meetings were held in Spring 2004 and Foster*A*Life was incorporated by June 2004. 

There is a system in place to help these children be taken out of the cycle of abuse, but resources can only be stretched so far. Because of these limited resources, Foster*A*Life (IRS # 20-1336607) was organized. Foster*A*Life helps foster children or any child who is or has been involved with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS). Foster*A*Life provides services to children in Lubbock County and the 17 surrounding counties to have a dream come true or to receive special services. Prom dresses, playing on a baseball team, going to sports camps and taking gymnastic lessons have all been possible! The requests are as unique as each child. Our organization is growing as are the needs of these “forgotten children.”
