Dear Friends,
Too many children are growing up around the world without parents. And that is not okay. Kids who have lost their parents experience severe trauma. And without consistent nurturing by the same, caring adult, they do not develop as they should. This results in developmental delays, emotional challenges and learning problems. Without the intervention of a parent, they do not do well – they end up not finishing school, becoming teen parents, being trafficked, committing crimes and spending time living in prison and on the streets. With the help of a family orphans and foster youth can succeed – and live productive lives.
Supporting Kidsave as we move into the New Year – or as you finish your charitable giving for 2010 – can make a dramatic difference in a child’s life. Make this the year you host or financially sponsor a child – or become an advocate.
· Please help us connect families to children in need. Learn more about hosting or sign up online at http://www.kidsave.org/host.shtml
· Hosting and adopting isn’t for everyone. So if you can’t give time please make a gift to Kidsave and make a difference in the life of a child. A simple gift of $25 per month will make a big difference in Kidsave’s ability to keep working for these children. Please give as you can at: https://www.kidsaveinternational.org/SSLPage.aspx?pid=379
We are grateful for all you have done to help us and hope you will think about how you can best help children find families – or help advocate for change in how orphaned children are cared for – in 2011. Please let Randi (Randi@kidsave.org) or me know (terry@kidsave.org) how you’d like to get involved.
Wishing you all the happiest and healthiest of New Years – and again, thank you for your support.
