Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.

The Together Trust charity is actively welcoming applications from people from all walks of life, ages, and backgrounds to match with a foster child in urgent need of a home. “We have experiences that can help young people if they have questions or need advice,” Ryan adds. “It’s a great feeling to help someone and set them up for their life ahead.” The number of mainstream fostering applications in the UK experienced a staggering drop of 21% between 2018 and 2022**.
Long-standing foster carers who foster time after time, like Annette, are therefore even more critical as waiting lists for homes continue to grow. “Eighteen months ago, another young person came into our family, and it’s been wonderful to watch them grow in confidence and develop their self-worth,” says Annette, who has fostered five children with her husband over the past decade.
