What was important some 45 years ago is a mere humorous memory. Their conversations centered on the joys of retirement, family, travel, leisure hobbies and a genuine interest in one another. But most of all, they love to rehash those memorable games that were won or lost by The Tigers. Hearing them recall their practices was pretty interesting also! There is no pretense in this group!

Jimmy Wayne's – “Project Me Meet Halfway” | Fox Valley Mom

Country music star Jimmy Wayne walked half of America in order to raise awareness for youth aging out of foster care systems. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Jimmy Wayne is popular country music singer and songwriter.  But before he hit it big, he led a very turbulent and abusive life.  He was shuttled to a series of foster homes. He was a homeless teen, living by his wits on the street until a North Carolina couple named Russell and Beatrice Costner took him in and gave him a family. Before Russell and Bea, Jimmy was homeless and close to hopeless. He remembers the feeling of being without a family, without a home. He began Project Meet Me Halfway to raise awareness of the fact that too many youth — especially those that are “aging out” of the foster care system — are facing circumstances similar to those he faced.  “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.

Meet Me Halfway kicked off January 1, 2010 when Jimmy began walking halfway across America.  He left the parking lot of Monroe Harding (a Nashville based foster care group home) early on New Year’s Day, with about 100 supporters walking the first few miles with him. With every step he took, every mile he logged and every person he met along the way, Jimmy raised awareness of homeless children and teens, especially those who age out of the foster care system.  Jimmy finished his walk on July 27, 2010 halfway across America in Phoenix, AZ. In addition to being a halfway point, Phoenix is also where another organization Jimmy supports is located—HomeBase Youth Services. This organization also serves the needs of foster children, focusing on those who have aged out of the foster care system and find themselves homeless.

In 2005, more than 24,000 youth aged out of the foster care system at the age of 18 without connection to a family. Even though the overall number of children in foster care is decreasing, the number of youth who age-out of the system continues to grow each year.  According to the 2000 Census, nearly 4 million people ages of 25-34 live with their parents due to economic realities — jobs are scarce, and housing is expensive. Foster youth who are aging out do not have the option of turning to their families for support. Alone, these young people are confronting the harsh reality of the gap between the wages they earn and the cost of housing. As a result, youth aging out of the foster care system are becoming homeless at disconcerting rates. More than 20% of young adults aging out of the system experience homelessness. As many as 3 in 10 of the nation’s homeless adults have a history in foster care.
