Meet Aileen Rosario – A Story of Family, Hope & Love
For over 16 years, Aileen Rosario has been a passionate advocate for youth in foster care, working tirelessly to help them find permanent, loving families. But her story is more than just professional—it’s deeply personal.
Aileen entered foster care at age 7 and spent years searching for a place to belong. At 17, she finally found her forever family in the home of Mary Keane. That moment changed everything.
As a family advocate at You Gotta Believe, I seek individuals who are willing to love, nurture, and stand by a young person through life’s greatest challenges—forming a bond that lasts a lifetime.
