The Wilsons Have Faces for Radio

By: Mr. Wilson on August 24, 2010
The Wilsons are showing up all over town. Our son Robert has appeared in a television advertisement for Harris Music Studios and a giant photograph at Applebee's for the Lincoln Children's Museum. Soon you will hear The Missus and me on the radio. Now we just need to work on a newspaper ad, a billboard, and a bus wrap. Last night The Missus and I recorded some bits for a radio advertisement that will soon air on My Bridge Radio (95.1FM in Lincoln; other frequencies across Nebraska). The piece will help promote foster parenting through Christian Heritage. Christian Heritage wants to dramatically increase its foster parent numbers to help ease the burden on current foster parents and to help provide solid homes for kids who might otherwise slip through the cracks. There is a tremendous demand for good homes for these kids, but not much supply. Hopefully hearing The Missus and me will convince a few individuals and families to sign up. Not Christian? Don't tune out just yet. This push is sponsored by Christian organizations but there are plenty of non-religious ways to participate in foster parenting. Just ask and I'll help you get started. The most surprising thing about last night's recording session was discovering just how invested I am in foster care. I got a little choked up more than once, and depending on which clips they use you may hear it on the radio. There's a saying that if you don't know what decision to make, just flip a coin; you'll know the right answer because once the coin is in the air you will realize which outcome you're hoping for. Something similar can be said of promoting a thing. Once you start trying to sell others on a product or idea, you learn just how much you believe in it. I believe in foster care. Call 402-421-KIDS or 1-866-381-KIDS to get started or to learn more about the opportunities available.
