Will you be the hero in a child’s story this #GivingTuesday?
As seen in “Perseverance,” children are greatly affected by the circumstances they find themselves in. When surrounded by trauma, abuse and neglect, their confidence diminishes and their ability to succeed is hindered. Children who find themselves worrying about where their next meal will come from or if they’ll have clean clothes to wear have less time to focus on the joys of simply being a child – soccer games, coloring with chalk or participating in spelling bees. But, when children are uplifted, encouraged and simply loved – they learn they can succeed beyond their wildest dreams.
