On any given day in the United States, there are more than 438,000 children in foster care. Many of these children move from home to home and lack basic necessities such as school supplies, clothing, and hygiene products. This can negatively impact both their personal lives and even educational pursuits. That’s why non-profit organizations dedicated to helping youth in foster care exist—to ensure every kid has a chance at success. When you donate to a children’s-based charity, you make progress a reality in an underprivileged child’s life.
How Non-Profits Help
Many hear about the hard facts of foster care, but aren’t sure how to help. Non-profit organizations like Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation provide a solution. When you donate to AFFCF, you can help a child in foster care buy notebooks for school or pay for piano lessons. These small donations create lasting impacts. 20% of children in foster care will attend college; the supplies AFFCF provides children the help they need to keep up as they change schools. 25% of youth in foster care will be in prison within two years of emancipation; the music lessons AFFCF provides helps children stay busy and out of trouble. With your donation, you get to play a long-lasting part of a child’s life.
