Jim Hoffpauir's Fundraising Page
In 1999 I traveled to Guatemala City to rescue an infant boy named Pablo from a life of poverty. I adopted him into my family gave him his American name Austin Michael. Without intervention Austin would have been challenged daily to find enough nutrition to simply sustain his life. Today my son is a healthy, active, loving child that enjoys playing soccer, video games and eating more pizza than his belly can hold. It is sad to know that everyday there are still thousands of children just like him around the world that awake to a life of poverty.
I know not everyone can make a lifelong commitment such as mine to assist a child like Austin but many can make a small monetary contribution that can help make a difference. Next week while attending the ISC West show in Las Vegas I will be running the "Security 5k" in support of Mission 500 with a goal of raising $5,000. Please take a moment to ready the following and consider making a donation of any amount. I’ve been there, I’ve seen the children they truly need your help so please consider a donation no matter how small.
In partnership with World Vision, I am inviting colleagues, clients, vendors, friends and family to help change the lives of children in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The Need
An estimated 1 billion children are living in poverty worldwide. Among this vulnerable group affected by malnutrition, there are millions of children in crisis, who are disenfranchised due to violence, forced labor, sex trafficking, war, and other atrocities. Through Mission 500, the Security Industry is doing their part to make a difference in the lives of children, their families and communities. By supporting World Vision's Children in Crisis projects in Latin America and the Caribbean - projects like ongoing efforts to rescue street children in Mexico City, building and repairing schools in Haiti, or working with young mothers who struggle in poverty in Brazil.
