“These children are not someone else’s responsibility. They are our responsibility.”

A Forever Family for Zach
For five long years, Zach moved between his biological family and foster care with no permanent place to call home. Fortunately, Zach’s journey changed when he was adopted at age 11 through the Foundation’s Wendy’s Wonderful Kids® program in West Virginia. Now 19, he is thriving in college on a full scholarship. Together, we can give more young people, like Zach, the foundation for a brighter future.
