Known in their community as “Everybody’s Favorite Twins”, Cherry and Sherry Wilmore have dedicated their lives to making sure young people aging out of foster care never feel alone. As cofounders of CHeriSH Times Two, they’ve built a safe and steady source of support for those stepping into adulthood without family by their side.

Cherry and Sherry spent 12 years navigating the foster care system themselves, often separated from one another and facing challenges that shaped their understanding of what support truly means. What started as their shared promise to make things better for the next generation has become a lifelong calling to walk alongside youth as they discover their strength and potential.

Through their Transitional Love program, CHeriSH Times Two provides the essentials that help young people take their next steps, such as laptops, dorm supplies, transportation and mentorship. But the heart of their work is in the care and consistency they show. They celebrate milestones, attend graduations and remain a presence long after a young person leaves foster care. Their work opens doors that might otherwise stay closed, helping youth avoid the barriers of homelessness, early parenthood or incarceration and instead pursue education, employment and independence with confidence.

Cherry and Sherry’s compassion and resilience have transformed their own story into a source of hope for others. They’ve turned pain into purpose, and what was once their greatest challenge is now their greatest gift to the world. For hundreds of young people stepping into adulthood without family support, they are more than mentors. They are advocates, cheerleaders and family.
