5 Minutes

a film by Serena Collins

If you had to leave your home in five minutes, what would you take with you? This question is a reality for a large number of children and teens who are in Iowa’s foster care system today. It’s also a question we explore through the eyes of a child in this short film produced by Serena Collins.

By supporting Families Helping Families of Iowa, you help support thousands of families, caregivers and children who are part of Iowa’s foster care and placement system with our programs, services and events.
