How could $40 change our world?
We are joining in on #GivingTuesdayNow, which is on May 5, 2020.
?We are celebrating the world coming together in giving all week. Our goal is to raise $7500 for Fostering Hope LA.
Giving Tuesday Now is a way of uniting the world to help with all aspects of defeating Covid-19 and helping those that have been impacted by the virus.
There is a forgotten population that is deeply affected by Covid-19, and that is our foster teens.
With at-home learning, many are struggling without laptops and other necessities they need. It is hard enough that they are in a house 24/7 that is not their home, but they are missing some of the needs that we can definitely help with.
$95 buys each student a Chromebook. We are looking for donations big and small, every amount helps!
How else are donations used?
Did you know the difference that $40 a month makes?
With a generous recurring donation of $40 a month, you can send a foster teen through our Jobs For Life program, which:
· is an employment and life skills training course consisting of 16 lessons over 8 weeks
· is centered on the truth that God has created each person for a purpose
· Prepares for employment with their own resume, cover letter and interview experience
· the students receive a Certificate of Completion, and we celebrate their achievements with an official graduation ceremony!
Our Mission: To empower youth transitioning out of foster care to become confident, productive and successful adults and to understand God’s love for them by:
1. Connecting them with a Christian mentor for a healthy and authentic relationship;
2. Teaching them job readiness skills through the Jobs for Life program;
3. Assisting them with job placement and/or education/vocational
