Fostering Change: Our Founding Story
The Eusibio “Bo” McCoy Foster Children’s Support Project, Inc., was formed in memory of Sergeant Eusibio McCoy, fondly known to family and friends as Bo. Bo was in foster care from a very young age until he aged out at 21.
A Special Bond and Vision
The founder of our organization met Bo when he was 12 years old, and they formed a special bond. Bo often discussed with her what he deemed inadequacies in the foster care system and the need for more programs that would provide education, mentoring, tutoring, and life skills for those aging out of the system. His dream was to, one day, form an organization to aid children in foster care.
Bo’s Legacy of Service
At the age of 21, he joined the United States Army. He quickly excelled, becoming a military policeman and a combat instructor before being promoted to Sergeant just weeks before his untimely death in Belgium at the age of 24. While in Belgium, Bo was instrumental in getting many of his fellow soldiers to volunteer at a local orphanage.
Honoring Bo’s Dream
It was not until his death that many of them learned that he had spent most of his childhood in foster care and why he had been so passionate and persistent that they volunteered. This organization is dedicated to his memory and fulfilling his dream!
