Mayra, a former foster youth from Rhode Island, thanks Representatives Langevin, Bass, Bacon and Mullin for HR 6766 which will increase Chafee by $500 million and provide older youth with help needed to navigate the Covid 19 crisis. Mayra expresses that young people in and from foster care are facing struggles with housing, employment, and mental health. Without this assistance, the health and safety of young people is at great risk.
