Project Meet Me Halfway: Jimmy Wayne
Follow Country Music Star Jimmy Wayne as he walks halfway across America to raise awareness of the fact that to many youth-especially those that are aging out of the foster care system-are facing circumstances similar to those he faced as a child growing up.
"Aging out" refers to what happens when youth reach a certain age (age 18 in most states) and are no longer eligible for support from the foster care system. Without foster care funding, many youth lose their place to live, health care coverage, connections to supportive adults, and are ill-prepared to support themselves in the adult world. Many youth end up like Jimmy--homeless on the streets.
