The story of Ray Davis, the Buffalo Bills' newest running back, resonates deeply with the themes we explore on "My Journey to Joshua." Ray, like many kids in foster care, had to deal with a lot of difficulties from an early age. His ascent to NFL prominence is a story of not only physical brilliance but also optimism for a lot of kids going through similar experiences.
Ray and my son Joshua are prime examples of the promise that lies beneath the foster care system, potential that can blossom in the right circumstances and with perseverance. Fostering Greatness and the Western New York Foster Closet are two organizations that emphasize the value of community support, which is in line with our own goal of promoting adoption and foster care through education.
As Ray steps onto the field, his story encourages as all to support our communities' youth, helping foster children realize their dreams, just as Joshua is realizing his. Through stories like Ray's, we see the powerful impact of giving those in foster care a chance to succeed.
