“Lou Elwood has spent the majority of his childhood in the foster care system. Finding his forever home was his first battle, transitioning to adulthood was the next.

When someone turns 18 in the foster system, LifeSet specialists help the youths with everything from graduating high school to applying for college or jobs, even mental health resources.
They work alongside DSS getting referrals for youths who could benefit from the program, even getting grants for funding, to ensure that the cost for youths who need the program is free of charge.”
