“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate National Foster Care Month. In my home counties of Miami-Dade and Monroe, there are 3,500 children in foster care who need loving families and the promise of a bright future. I would like to take a moment to recognize Bunchy Gertner, a true leader in south Florida in the cause to help these children. Working with the local organization Our Kids, she has led efforts to collect Christmas gifts for thousands of foster children, ensuring that they experience the joy of Christmas morning. Additionally, Bunchy has helped provide children aging out of the foster care system with the Good Housekeeping gift, basic household items that help ease the often too difficult transition to independent life. We should take inspiration from Bunchy's charity and recommit ourselves during this month to guarantee that all children in the foster care system receive the support that they need and deserve. ____________________”
