Thank you for visiting my fund-raising page!

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 obstacles 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.
