This page on the Mile High United Way Website provides everything you need to know about their program. It provides history and credentials of all the things they have done and do. It also maps out how they plan on making a difference through three areas: school readiness, youth success, and adult self sufficiency. It also tells the step to how they go about it: to invest, to convene, and to innovate. They also mention that they provide success stories of people who have gone through their program and videos.

This book gives me the success stories I need for my paper. It gives a 100 people who have been through the system in one way or the other, yet they were still able to do great things. I looked specifically at those who went through foster care and the three that stood out were Oksana Baiul, Alexander Hamilton, and Marilyn Monroe. It tells you the persons achievements, their family origins, what facilities they were in, education, and significant relationships. This book will help me get my point across.

This book gives a lot of information covering every aspect, positive and negative, of the foster care system. I will be using it to give information on children leaving foster care and avoiding abuse in the system. It also gives some points as to when foster care is successful. It provides the facts, gives statistics, and even has studies that have been preformed on the matter.
