Tavon and Davon Woods said they are products of the foster childcare system and want to raise awareness about its challenges.
Davon and Tavon Woods talk with FOX Television Stations about their mission to bring hope to children in the foster care system.The 27-year-olds are on a mission to walk 20 miles in every state to raise hope for and awareness of foster care children--- like themselves.
"Oftentimes we would get beatings for little, small issues, be called ‘stupid’...verbal abuse," he added. "We tried college, but it didn’t work out," Tavon said. "We started dabbling in the streets, sold a little drugs." The twins said they met their biological family when they were in high school, but now have limited interactions with them. They are also now estranged from their adoptive parents after making their stories public. The brothers attributed many of their challenges to abruptly transitioning from the foster care system into the adult world, and they hope other children won’t have a hard time adjusting.
The brothers said they want to help foster care children get jobs, stay sober and have other basic life necessities including love and support. They also want to build homes for children currently in foster care. They want to have homes in every state.
