The challenges of 2020, resulting from the global pandemic, are well-documented. As many across Michigan prepare to gather and celebrate Thanksgiving with loved ones during this difficult year, Samaritas reminds everyone that now is the time to be forever thankful for family and friends – that families cannot take anything for granted when life is so precious. As the holidays approach, hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children in the U.S. foster care system, including 2,500 in Michigan, are awaiting the love of a forever family.
