HumanKind Foster Care: The Ward Family

Irvin and Teesha Ward, opened their hearts and home to 47 foster children, eventually adopting seven of them, demonstrating just how transformative lives can become through endless love and selflessness. Despite the demanding nature of fostering, with constant appointments and social worker visits, the Wards said they have approached their role with compassion and a sense of responsibility. They see fostering not just as a duty but as an opportunity to show love and kindness to those who need it most. Being foster parents is about a profound commitment to providing stability, love, and support to children who have experienced trauma and displacement.
