We continue our long-term support in financially assisting kids in need. Thank you for your support and know that FATHER is doing the accounting for our cheerful giving. It is all about Love!
The following are some of the testimonies of our assistance:
“Fourth Grade does a Science Expo every year for parents and the student body to visit. My student would not have participated due to lack of parent involvement. Because of generous donations, I was able to purchase the materials he needed to complete his science experiment as well as poster board and construction paper for him to create his presentation. THANK YOU!!!!””
The school was hosting “Bunny Pics” for students to pay $4 to take pictures with a bunny. A Villager asked her 5th grade student if he wanted to do it and said she would buy the pictures for him. He responded and said, “You would really do that for me? I wanted to do it, but my mom said we couldn’t afford it. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to hold a real-live bunny!””His class was asked to bring 30 small items to put in each of his classmates’ stockings at Christmas time. The idea was that each student would go home with 30 small gifts. I found out what he wanted to give his friends and purchased them for him. He was able to put his name on all of them and pass them out in class”
“There was a student that was repeatedly in the office for behavior problems, mostly fighting with other kids. Any time he was in the office, he would say, “No one here cares about me. No one likes me.” After the principal knew that he had built a relationship with his Villager, the next time he was in the office and started in, the principal was able to say, “That’s not true. What about Mrs. XXXX?” And the student said, “Oh yeah….she loves me. But she’s the only one!” But his attitude changed and he was less defensive. That’s our goal…no student will ever be able to say “No One” here cares about me.”
“Wasn’t my kiddo but, another student that was impacted by his villager. His villager had taken a basket of fun things and snacks to his house the day before Spring Break. When he was in my class, he told me that was the best part of his Spring Break and that he had so much fun!”
“My staff co-worker and I actually have twins that we are “villaging” with. Before Spring Break, we gave them a gift bag of snacks and crafts. We were happy that they would have some creative activities to fill their time over Spring Break. In addition, post Spring Break, students are often asked to write about what they did over break. Our hope is that our activity bag gave our kiddos something to write about.”
