Family Links
As of mid-2008, Mulberry is supporting six foster families and two transitional living “families.” The foster families include large family-type homes with as many as eleven children and traditional foster families that may have one foster child. All of the foster families include biological children.The transitional living families are for children who are ready to leave their life on the streets. They are allowed to live with a Mulberry staff member as long as they agree to live by the rules. The rules include attending school, getting vocational training and attending church and a bible study. These families are intentionally smaller.
The following families have a website with photos and news.
