It's rare that I've needed to send an urgent message like this. The number of homeless families is at an all-time high and donations have dropped dramatically.
To be honest, I'm frightened for the children. It keeps me up at night thinking that we'll need to make very serious cuts in services to the homeless families in our care; life-changing services that have contributed to our high success rate for the past several years.
Many major funders have recently told us they can't help this year. In order to continue providing the housing, food, counseling and many other services our families need to rebuild their lives, I need your help.
And if you'd like to honor someone special with your financial gift, we'll send them this holiday card acknowledging your generous gift in their honor. Just provide their name(s) and address(es) on the donation form.
Thank you for your care and concern for homeless children. Your gifts truly do help change lives.
