My husband and I did foster care to provide a safe home for children — but it didn't seem like enough. I ventured to the other side of the fence to help parents make changes so they never have to be in this situation again.
Amantha Moseley
FSW/Mentor, Cozad
Many parents who enter our services have only one tool — if any — in their toolbox. Our goal is that by the time they leave GLFS, they've built a full set of tools they can rely on moving forward.
Tony Ketcham
Family Support Supervisor, Ogallala
Most families involved in services truly love their kids — what they need is support, not judgment.
Amiya Puterbaugh
Family Support Worker, Omaha
I'm living proof that these services can truly change lives. My own family received Family Support services when I was growing up — and that experience changed the direction of my family for generations.
Ricky Wright
 Family Support Supervisor, Norfolk
