Realtor makes a difference for foster children

Tim Barker, a real estate agent with Regina Flores Ramona Real Estate Group, is the newest sponsor of a public charity dedicated to finding biological family members of children in foster care — a process known as family finding.

Forever Homes for Foster Children, a San Diego-based nonprofit founded by Richard Villasana, builds stronger families and communities.

“Tim has been an amazing supporter who donates a portion of every commission to helping foster children,” said Villasana. “With his assistance, we have been able to help many more foster children by reuniting them with family members.”

Villasana, a Navy veteran, is a leading international authority on foster children. An author, columnist and international speaker, he has been featured in Foster Focus Magazine, the San Diego Business Journal, and EFE, the world’s largest Spanish language media company.

Forever Homes for Foster Kids for more than 20 years has helped create stronger families and communities by moving foster children into permanent homes.

Regina Flores Ramona Real Estate Group is at 850 Main St.
