I would support funding for foster homes. With better funding the government would be able to give them better lives. A lot of foster kids grow up in and out of the foster system due to caretakers that are only interested in making money from the government. There is also the housing problem. If there are too many kids at one orphanage they will refuse other kids. More funding will allow the people in charge to buy larger buildings to house more children, and make it less cramped.
I feel that this would help make orphans a little more happy because they're not just getting thrown at whomever will take them due to housing space. Children in the foster system end up being angry at themselves and angry at others that they are constantly thrown around and no one ever adopts them.
With better funding these children would have a better life, and a better chance at finding a comfortable home to live in.
