Helping Children in Need
APPEAL TO REACH OUT TO HELP COVID-19 CHILDREN
Donations can be sent to GiveSendGo Crowdfunding at https://lnkd.in/gAmnNYC
Dear Friends,
COVID-19 has tragically hit our global community, including thousands of young children throughout the world. In response, I am reaching out to ask for your help to provide FOOD, MEDICAL CARE AND PREVENTATIVE EDUCATION to support children at our Christian-affiliated hospitals, boarding homes and schools in India and Cambodia. A friend who works at one of our Lutheran boarding homes in India just shared, "Some children simply have no place to go and there is a critical need to help ". I ask you to consider a gift of $25 dollars to provide food and medical care to a child for a week.
We are all overwhelmed because the need is so great. I must admit that as I write this appeal for your help, I ask myself - "what can I do in the midst of this global crisis to make a difference in the life of even one child ? " I do not have an easy answer, but I am comforted by the words of Mother Teresa: "We cannot change the entire world, but we can change that small part of the world in which we live ".
