Leigh Esau is a product of the foster care system.  Having spent the first 7 years of her life in foster care she knew early in her life she wanted to give back to those who would follow.  After she and her husband fostered over 20 children during their 13 years as foster parents she felt an urgency to change how it looks and feels for children who enter into foster care.  16 years ago she founded the Foster CARE Closet to help provide clothing to children as they enter into foster care.  It has evolved into so much more from those early years.  What began in her basement has grown into a statewide organization that serves in partnership with DHHS to help children transition into foster care.

Leigh lives in Lincoln Nebraska with her husband of 37 years and their 2 adult children and 4 teenagers.
