WHERE DO WE SERVE?

We focus our serving foster children all over New England, and are working on expanding to New York, Florida, and other regions!

WHY DID WE START MAKE-A-CHANGE INC.?
Make-A-Change Inc. started when Josh and Emily Therrien had a vision of starting an organization dedicated to impacting foster children in a major way, who may otherwise never get the chances we are going to be offering kids. Josh lost his father at a year old to a drug overdose, then his mother to a drug overdose while in college. Fortunately when Josh was 9, his aunt and uncle raised him, taking him in and showing him what love and faith was to support the needs he had as a child. When he was 22 years old and his wife was 19, they became foster parents of their 2 nieces, currently they have 3 kids when their baby nephew was added to the family. This life journey put Emily and Josh on a mission to start an organization to live out their calling of changing kids lives.
 
HOW DO WE FIND KIDS TO HELP?

Make-A-Change Inc. first works with children within its sponsor a child program with foster children free and cleared for adoption. Then we go through our applications submitted online. Lastly we work with DCF offices, churches, schools, and current leaders in the organization to work with foster children with the most need who we may have never made an impact with.
