Hi and thanks for visiting our fund-raising web page. We'd really appreciate your support in something we feel very strongly about.  We have been supporting one or more children for over ten years now and it is one of the most rewarding things we do.  According to United Nations estimates, every 14 seconds a child is orphaned due to HIV/AIDS. This means that over 6,000 children everyday join the over 14 million children worldwide who have been orphaned by this disease. Often these children do not have enough to eat, no clean water to drink, no access to proper medical care, they cannot attend school and grow up in an environment of fear and neglect. Without a loving hand to support and guide them, in many cases they must care for sick and dying parents and are left with the responsibility of raising their younger siblings. Yet, through the work of World Vision, there is hope for the future of these children. Your donation, in addition to our own efforts, can make all the difference in the lives of these children. A little money can go a long way to help! Here are some examples: - $25 can provide an orphan care kit (nutritious food, basic medicines, etc) - $30 can provide basic health care provisions for one child - $50 can provide adult assistance and counseling for a vulnerable child - $100 can help build a home for an HIV/AIDS affected family. Donating through this website is simple, safe and totally secure.  Won't you give now?

Many thanks for your support,

Bob and Suzanne Lane
