Alidia Norton, a former foster child, now guides children and parents as a Buckner Project HOPES staff member. She found hope, normalcy and direction for her life through a 13-year journey with Buckner. 

"I feel like the biggest thing Buckner has given me is a sense of hope," Alidia said. "Knowing I could overcome statistics and knowing I can be successful even with my past and even with the parents I was given."
