Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 651 Pine Street Martinez, Ca. 94553 To the members of the board: While taking a Publ•ic .Health nursing class I had the opportunity of working within the- Foster Care system of Contra Costa County. I am truly amazed by the love, dedication, and hard work all the members of the team: foster parents, social workers, nurses and physicians provide these very vulnerable children. However, the needs of these children and their caretakers are rapidly going beyond the present resources. I gave a speech based on my experiences with the Foster Care system in a Public Speaking class. The attached letter is the outcome of that presentation. I will be glad to share with the Board my findings if requested. In any case, I believe that each of you individually, as well as, a group will make these children a priority. Thank you for your time and attention.
