EveryChildUSA, along with Marietta nonprofit organization, The Orange Duffel Bag Foundation, have launched a national campaign to raise money for teens aging out of foster care.

The groups are seeking $10 donations to provide access to health care, life-plan coaching and training to save teens from being homeless, incarceration or suicide.

According to the organizations, more than 50 percent of teens who age out of the foster care system experience homelessness within the first 18 months.
