What you should know about The Foster Foundation
Red' Foster grew up in the family home on Oaklands Avenue in Toronto with his blind and mentally disabled brother John ('Jackie') during a time when people with mental disabilities were closeted away from public view. Red decided to become actively involved in creating awareness of the contributions those with mental disabilities could make if given the opportunity. Rather than send 'Jackie' to an institution, the Fosters enveloped their most vulnerable member with love and a sense of inclusion in everyday affairs.Jackie's 'specialness' and the segregation experienced by him and those with similar disabilities was not lost on his older brother. Mr. Foster established the Foundation in 1954 to help support the various organizations being formed on behalf of people with mental disabilities.
