“I just wanted to say how much I appreciate PBC. I am a foster parent of an eleven-year-old girl. Before her visit to Blairstown she was timid, had low self-esteem, and didn’t communicate much with my husband and me. Now she has built up confidence and self-esteem, which allows her to communicate with us. Also, she cannot stop taking about how her facilitator Alexis encouraged her to try new things and empowered her fellow sisters to do the same. ”
