Raising Awareness About The Needs of Children and Orphans.

Providing "Basics & Backpacks" to Children and Orphans

COLORADO CHILDREN NEED YOUR HELP!

Each month in one Colorado county alone 50 children will go from their home into foster care. There are 64 counties in Colorado. Each of these dear children typically has nothing to call their own during this abrupt and traumatic move from their home to foster care. "Basics and Backpacks" consist of the following NEW items; backpack, underwear, pajamas, socks, pants, towel/washcloth, t-shirts, sweats and a reminder that each child is loved in the form of a stuffed animal, toy, or a book; contingent upon the age of the child.

Isaiah's Cry currently collaborates with three Colorado counties that need immediate assistance. Recently three more counties have asked for assistance or additional information to help the children in their counties. One county is almost completely out of resources to provide for children going from their home to foster care. There is an immediate need for (50) fifty "Basics and Backpacks" to serve the children of this county for the next 30 days and every month thereafter. You can help give emergency assistance, love, dignity, and hope to each child during a very traumatic and unpredictable time in his or her life. It is a profound way to impact children's lives that will be remembered. A greater blessing would be to provide 600 "Basics and Backpacks" for this county for the whole year! From July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009, 12,342 Children in Colorado were placed in out of home care. During that same time, the Number of Children in Foster/Group Homes was 6,236.
