Carrying Hope Benefit Enables More Support for Youth in Foster Care

Carrying Hope, an Austin-based nonprofit that provides comfort items and support services to youth in foster care, held its sixth annual Hope Blooms Gala on Thursday, March 23rd outside at a flower-adorned Springdale Station. The event was a smashing success that raised an incredible amount of money to directly benefit children and youth in foster care in Texas. Guests enjoyed catering by Royal Fig, an open bar, cookies by Kitchen Elf, and a fabulous array of live and silent auction items. Attendees were moved to tears by speaker Joy Sewing, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated writer for the Houston Chronicle and a foster-adopt mom who shared her heartfelt story of opening her home to her two children.
