Director Statement

MOTH was created to be a conduit to the voiceless! Bringing a voice to the voiceless. Growing up the Fostercare system was so present that you either had your own experience with them or you knew someone who did. There is a whole community out there that came from fostercare. There is many reasons why our children end up in foster care...Every situation is different. Can we rehabilitate the parents ? and we are putting the kids in fostercare , Are we putting them in worse care now?, Are our children going through the abuse even more now with the people that were entrusted to take care of them? We have very detailed instructions in fostercare , Are we not following them? Our children are our future, what are we doing to make sure they have some type of normalcy in their lives. We talk about incarceration, mental illness, anxiety and so much more. What are we doing to stop or rehabilitate our Future. I always grew up knowing that A Ounce Of Prevention Is Always Better Than A Pound Of Cure But if we have to cure and rehabilitate, let’s make sure it’s done for so many reasons: Kids are our Future, Love heals all, and We are as strong as our weakest link.
Humanity and compassion should urge us to bring healing , solutions, justice and prevention to our children.
