We are so excited that you have visited our fund-raising page! It is our hope to donate $5 from every shoot that we have starting in December. If you have a shoot you will see your initials and your contribution. Together we hope to reach this goal so please feel free to contribute on your own as well. This is a special opportunity to help children and families around the world who are in desperate need. Please join with me by giving gifts that bring life-changing help and hope. Your support will demonstrate compassion and offer hope to a poor child, family, or village. Did you know …? " In sub-Saharan Africa 32% of girls have never attended school-34% in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Worldwide, 16% of girls miss out on school completely. " More than 121 million primary school-age children do not attend school; the majority of them are girls. " More than 1 billion children suffer a lack of proper nutrition, safe drinking water, decent sanitation facilities, health-care services, shelter, education and information. World Vision, a Christian relief and development organization, works in nearly 100 countries to help children and families tackle the causes of poverty. With the partnership of people like us, they are making a real and lasting difference for millions of people-and that's why I wholeheartedly support their work. When you donate to the Girls in Crisis Fund, your gift will help the following: You can help protect a girl from abuse, child labor, sex trafficking, early marriage, and other frequent offenses against girls born in cultures where females may be poorly valued. Your gift will allow trained staff- familiar with the needs and various cultures-to give nurturing support to girls through training, education, counseling, and advocacy on girls' behalf. This is a wonderful way to express your support for the world's poor. Thanks for joining me in this effort.

Warmest wishes,
