In this emotional and eye-opening conversation, Matthew Burton sits down with Chris and Mike to discuss the tough realities of the foster care system — especially what happens when young people “age out” at just 18 years old. With little to no support, thousands of foster youth are suddenly expected to navigate housing, education, jobs, and adulthood on their own, often without family, guidance, or a safety net. Matthew highlights the work of Foster 360, a nonprofit dedicated to helping these young adults transition into independence, offering mentorship, housing resources, and life skills training.
The discussion sheds light on the struggles many face when they’re released from the system unprepared, from homelessness to unemployment, and emphasizes the importance of community-driven solutions. Matthew’s passion for using charity runs and community involvement to raise awareness shows that everyone can play a role in making sure these kids aren’t forgotten.
