MAKING AN IMPACT IN FOSTER CARE
CHRIS PHAM
Last year we reported a story on Jeffrey, who was 12 years old when Chris Pham began working with him through Children’s Law Center of Minnesota. Chris had maintained the relationship with this young man, including when Jeffrey was moved to Washington to live with his older sister, only to be told that her family decided to no longer adopt him. Chris stayed in contact with Jeffrey when he was placed in outstate Minnesota, Iowa and many other places over the past nine years. But due, in part, to Chris’s consistency in his life, Jeffrey has become a successful young man. He is currently in the military and stationed in Texas, where he is learning to be a helicopter mechanic and pilot.
