Poverty Is Everywhere

 
My Dear Friends, 

For those of us who are Americans, we need to repair the problems our own country is facing, as well respond to the now seemingly infinitesimal global humanitarian crisis. 
 
Our hope for a better tomorrow, both here and abroad is vested in all children, making them most our precious of resources.  There remains so much work to be done right here at home.  That work includes providing for our children

On July 24th, the United Nations Development Programme released findings that the United States was one of four countries leading the Human Development Index. There are 46.2 million individuals in the United States living before the poverty level, an increase from 43.6 million individuals a year ago.  This includes our children.

"Hunger prevents kids from reaching their full potential.  It's an epidemic threatening America's future." www.nokidhungry.org.  

Year round, not just during the Holiday season, as is often presumed, children desperately require access to nutritional meals.

While dedicated organizations desperately need cash donations, it is also the gift of your

time that will insure our country a healthy future.

No matter our own personal circumstances, there is always something more we can do to help.
Love, Light and an Abundance of Heartfelt Gratitude,

Cynthia Lardner
