First Lady Melania Trump has publicly expressed support for President Donald J. Trump’s official Proclamation declaring May 2025 as National Foster Care Month. This proclamation is particularly significant as it coincides with the anniversary of the First Lady’s Be Best initiative, which she launched back in 2018 on May 7.
“I take great pride in the efforts I have made to uplift the foster care community over the past several years,” she stated. “It is my honor to collaborate with my husband in recognizing the invaluable contributions of families, caregivers, and advocates who provide essential shelter, stability, and inspiration to our children. I commend the unwavering commitment of our American foster families who play a pivotal role in enabling children to achieve their full potential.”
The Be Best initiative, championed by First Lady Melania Trump, focuses on enhancing the well-being of children, particularly those in the foster care system, through her Fostering the Future platform.
