Niños de Mexico has provided hope and a future for hundreds of children since its beginning in 1967. Many of their children come from very difficult backgrounds, including being orphaned or abandoned on the streets. Most have suffered abuse in many ways. Most of the children placed in their care have not been in school. This means that the children are way behind their peers educationally. When possible, the youngest children have been placed in private schools to help them overcome their past difficulties. Classroom sizes in public schools can be as high as 40 kids. In private schools, there are normally 10-15 kids per classroom.
The yearly expense of $750 covers all fees and books for one child. Currently, 14 children in Niños need this type of specialized education. Our goal is $10,500.
Turning Point’s new shelter in Union is a safe and secure location for women and children in and around Franklin County. Their shelter will offer a sanctuary for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, stalking, and human trafficking. The shelter is truly more than a shelter: it’s a haven where women and children find refuge from the storms of abuse and where healing begins. Beyond being a safe harbor, Turning Point is a community where life is nurtured, and each individual finds encouragement and support.
As the shelter is just about to open its doors, the one thing that had to be removed from their budget was an outdoor playground for the children. To provide a fun and safe playground environment, we’d like to support them with an offering that will help provide this much-needed piece of equipment. Our goal is $9,500.
