Every donation allows us to reach in-need children nationwide. Here are some stories of how product donations have impacted the lives on impoverished children in the west coast and east coast:
NEW YORK:Sophia comes from a single parent home, and her father is all she has. He struggles to make ends meet as many immigrant families do, and after housing and food, there's very little money to provide brand new clothing for his little girl.
Jacob comes from a family where his daddy is very sick with heart disease, which prevents him from working. A sensitive little boy, he's anxious every time his dad goes to the doctor for yet another test, and senses just how much the stress is taking a toll on his mom.
Their community partnership with K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers, Lighthouse Outreach Ministries in Copiague, New York has been able to help their families, and several hundred others, find a way to provide the kind of quality items that they otherwise could not easily afford.
We would not be able to get these wonderful donations to some of the neediest children in the nation without your support. Thank you so much for your contribution. We look forward to reaching more children in need than never before, and we cannot do it without your financial support.
CALIFORNIA: Through our partnership with community agencies, we are able to reach the neediest children and families. We recently received some incredible feedback regarding our product donations from Tasha-Nicole Terani, founder of our community partner, Every Child's Dream Foundation, in Westlake, California. The agency does remarkable work for thousands of orphaned and abandoned children. Tasha sent us this picture of "Avalon" (who was named after the place where she was found) and her brand new ladybug pillow pet, which, Tasha says, she is now cuddling with in her new foster home!
It is this kind of compassion and dedication that makes us proud to be affiliated with the agencies in our partner network. Most importantly, we would not be able to provide this wonderful product without your support. For every $1 donated, K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers is able to donate over $10 worth of brand new product to underprivileged families across the nation. From our experience, we know product donations like these help fulfill the needs of disadvantaged children and adults, demonstrating to them that they are worthy of being valued.
Due to the tremendous support of our product donors, your gift is multiplied ten-fold: a $30 donation provides over $300 worth of new merchandise to needy families.
Our goal is to raise $5,000, which will provide $50,000 worth of brand new merchandise, such as clothes, books, toys, home items and more to disadvantaged children and adults who are in dire need of the basics across the nation.
Please help us continue our mission by donating now. Thank you again for your valuable support.
