Samantha became a foster child at the age of 14 and was shuffled through many foster homes and shelters. She was motivated to do something about the abuse she had experienced and earned her Master's Degree as a Social Worker. Now she works as an advocate for children in the New Jersey Department of Children and Families. This week, Samantha Broderick talks about her journey through the foster care system and what she's doing now to help improve it.
