About us

Foster Angels on Earth, Inc.

 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization

Our Mission    

We bring awareness to the issues children face in foster care and provide various supports to help bridge the gap within their peer group and the systems that affect their lives.

In 2006, the Founder, Cathy Oskowiak adopted a child from the foster care system. She then began working with a local foster agency as a Nurse Consultant. It was through her close work with foster and biological families that her eyes were opened to the array of difficulties that children faced in the Foster Care System.

 It became her and Patti Hartman's mission to bring awareness to their situations, and to better their lives by rallying the community to support the strained and often underfunded system. The abuses and neglect many have and will experience are unimaginable. Children entering the system are pulled from the only family they have known. They are placed in a strange, new environment, often with little or no notice and with only the clothes they are wearing. 

As the President and Co-Founder, Patti Hartman is dedicated to bringing hope, stability, and support to children in foster care. With a deep commitment to enhancing the lives of vulnerable children, Patti has shaped Foster Angels on Earth, Inc. into a beacon of compassion, ensuring that children in the foster system receive gifts for the holidays, backpacks for school, and clothing for their transition into their new foster home and to overall better their lives by rallying our community to bolster the strained and underfunded system supporting them.
