My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! 

You know, I am so lucky and thrilled to have three happy and healthy children who have a safe, comfortable home to call their own -  cribs and beds to sleep in and a place to keep their toys.  I wish all kids had that.   Unfortunately, many good families with infants, toddlers and schoolagers will not have a bed or a crib to sleep in tonight.    

I hope that my friends who are also fortunate enough to have a home and a bed for their children will join me in raising money for Vision House.  If each of my friends decided to skip their latte tomorrow, or all week or even all month and instead give those dollars to Vision House, then we would be on our way to truly helping the most vulnerable people. 

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts. 

 

$26 per night! That is all it takes to provide a home and support services to a homeless child!

 

Kids Shouldn’t Be Homeless.

     Vision House has helped hundreds of homeless mothers and their children get back on their feet and into a safe, stable home.
 
One mom writes:

 Thank you for your prayers and blessings. It helps to know we aren't alone! 

Here is what your gift can do:

  • $26 - that is all it takes to provide a safe place for a child to sleep for one night. 
  • $50 - could provide all the makings and memories of a special holiday dinner.
  • $100 - crisis support for a child in need
  • $250 - crisis counseling and support services for a family for one month
  • $780 - safe housing and warmth for a child for one month
  • Any amount helps us protect a child from homelessness!

Thank you for helping a homeless child.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
