My personal message:

Hey everybody my name is Kira and I am 9 years old.

I am raising money for kids in Africa because they are like the brothers and sisters i've never had. In Africa, 6,000 kids become orphans everyday. I couldn't imagine life without my mommy and daddy.

When I was 6 years old I had an Allowance and could spend it however I wanted and I chose to help world vision. I chose world vision because I want them to have everything they need to help these kids survive.

My goal is $1,000. If you or anybody you know would be interested in helping the kids, you can make a safe and secure donation right here.

Together, we can make a difference!

God bless! Love Kira

The facts...

With this site, it is DEDICATED TO HELPING CHILDREN ORPHANED AND MADE VULNERABLE BY HIV/AIDS

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 support of my 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 and is the most effective way to sponsor me. Won't you sponsor me now? Many thanks for your support.

Thanks for your support and please forward this to all of your friends too! Maybe together, we can make a difference and change what's happening now!

Because kids still believe they can change the world...and so can you. Become a Friend of Kira and become a kid again!
