Hello Friends & Family,
I just recently joined a very worthy cause. I have chosen to support Depelchin Children’s Center in Houston, Texas. Since today’s children are the leaders of tomorrow, it is vital that today’s leaders plant seeds within the lives of today’s children. Many of the Greater Houston area children will go without their daily needs being met due to poverty, abuse and neglect, or disabilities. One person can make a difference to help our children and build the community.
I have chosen to host a collection drive & would like to ask for your help. Top Needs are Infant & Toddler Items; Socks, Shoelaces & Shoes (birth-5 years); Thanksgiving Baskets; Holiday Sponsors & Volunteers (packets will be emailed to you); Pantry/Food Items; Personal Care Items; and Toiletry Items. I can email you a list of specific items for each category, if you'd like. Your help will make such a big difference in the lives of these children. Your gifts are needed and will be so greatly appreciated.
Nearly 117 years ago, the DePelchian Children’s Home began as a shelter for orphaned children. Throughout the years, DePelchin has changed to include numerous other services for children and is now known as The DePelchian Children’s Center. There are 30 programs in 60 locations in Harris, Ft. Bend, Montgomery and Waller counties in Texas. Programs are designed primarily to meet the needs of individuals and families in crisis. Services are provided to children and families in need, regardless of their ability to pay. Funding is received from the United Way, the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, other governmental agencies, program fees, community support and investment income. Read about DePelchian at their website: http://www.depelchin.org.
Children are special and they do matter... They are our future. If you planted one seed in the life of a child; you could open endless fields of possibility and hope for them. Some of these children will become doctors, physicians, lawyers, teachers, and parents. Others will become high school dropouts, criminals or victims. Your help is vital. You could change a life forever simply by building on a foundation for their success... if you start today.
Successful futures are built on today’s choices. Make the choice to become an active participant. Attached is information on how to get involved and help make a difference. I really look forward to hearing from you soon.
