Friends - thanks for clicking on my link to learn more about why children are in crisis and how you, your family, friends, church, place of work can help! Please share my link or set-up your own fundraising page. Thank you for your interest and support!

Every gift really does make a difference one child at a time. I know. I currently sponsor two children -- one in Bindura, Zimbabwe and one in Managua, Nicaragua, as well as a Village in Russia.

SOS is their home -- something my gift helps provide, along with an education and healthcare. Without a doubt, it is the best and most rewarding $105 I spend every month! Unfortunately, there are so many more children in need ...and you can help.

WHY ARE CHILDREN IN CRISIS?
Poverty, disease and humanitarian crises make children extremely vulnerable to being orphaned or abandoned or to simply losing a safe place to sleep at night. A record number of people in 2015 are living as refugees due to war, conflict and persecution. The resulting instability and violence pose critical problems for the people displaced, especially children.

HOW CAN YOU BE A HERO?
Founded in 1949, SOS Children’s Villages supports vulnerable children and their families in 134 countries and territories, including the United States. Join us and Be a Hero for a Child in Crisis by helping provide as much relief to as many vulnerable children as possible. See below for examples of what your heroism could mean.
