"In America, there's approximately over 400,000 children living in foster care at any given time and over 75% of those children are separated from at least one of their siblings," Emdur said. "And so I just felt like there needed to be this safe place where we can bring siblings together and truly create an environment where they feel like they can belong and create happy memories."

You can hear more about Emdur's organization in Friday's Drew-Gooders segment.

The Drew Barrymore show airs at 9:00 a.m. on Friday on CBS3.
