Adventures in Adversity: an inspirational podcast

Ep. 50: Building brighter futures for foster kids with Fostering Wishes founder Sabine Lemmo

01 Aug 2025

Description

This week on Adventures in Adversity, I had the privilege of sitting down with Sabine Lemmo, the passionate founder of Fostering Wishes—a nonprofit bringing hope and tangible support to children in foster care in Northern California, specifically in Contra Costa County.Our conversation was deeply personal and eye-opening, as Sabine shared the story of how she was drawn to fostering, the invisible challenges foster kids face every day, and the gap Fostering Wishes strives to fill in the system.Listening to Sabine, I was struck by just how much fostering is about more than providing a home—it’s about restoring dignity, nurturing belonging, and reminding every child that they matter. We talked about how something as simple as offering a duffel bag instead of a trash bag can completely change a child’s experience, and how empowering it feels when the community steps in to help.One message that resonated with me is that fostering isn’t a one-way street; the families and children both grow, heal, and inspire each other. We also explored the urgent need for more foster homes and community volunteers, reminding me—and hopefully all of us—that creating change takes all of us working together.If you’ve ever wondered how you could help, big or small, this episode will give you ideas and renewed hope.
