SAVE OUR SUMMER! AKNM May 2022 Newsletter

I hope you are doing well! And, as we head into the summer, I hope you have some wonderful plans for vacation, rest, and renewal. Everyone needs it!

When I think about the summer, I have so many wonderful childhood memories. Lazy days, playing outside until dark, family vacations, and the general silliness that comes with the joys of summer break. It gives me great pause, however, when I think about what summers are like for U.S. orphans. And, how hard it is when they go back to school and all of the other kids are talking about going to the beach, Disneyland, and summer camp. It’s just another heartbreaking reminder that they are orphans and different than other kids.

This is exactly why we have launched Project: Save Our Summer! While we can’t take the over 400,000 U.S. orphans on vacation, we can give them the gift of consistent, compassionate mentoring and help rebuild their self-esteem through therapeutic music lessons. They actually get to choose the instrument they want to learn, and we give it to them. It is their very own and that is a really big deal! Remember, they can’t run outside and hop on their bikes – they don’t have them. Their personal belongings can fit in a garbage bag so that they can pack and move from group home to group home.

We need to move quickly with Project: Save Our Summer. We have to act now to help them heal! Let’s give them something they can call their own, and a skill that provides emotional healing for their broken, scarred hearts and minds. Therapeutic music lessons are proven to help heal PTSD and improve educational outcomes. These children urgently need your help to heal!

Please partner with me – every dollar counts. Let’s save the summers for U.S. orphans! You can sponsor an orphan for just $160 a month (which includes the musical instrument and instructor fees). Or, you are welcome to help with a gift of any amount – it all adds up!

When I think about giving the orphans a story to tell when they go back to school, a story of what they have accomplished, a big smile breaks out on my face. Join me in putting smiles on U.S. orphans’ faces this summer – it is a priceless gift!

Serving the children together,

Individual Champions

There are so many ways for individuals to help change the lives of foster children.

Choose a child or children to sponsor for a year. You can choose to cover the costs of the child’s instrument and lessons, just the lessons, or just the instrument. You can also choose to give to the area of greatest need. You can make a single gift or a monthly recurring gift. And remember, it changes childrens’ lives and is tax deductible as an additional benefit to you.

Business Champions

Businesses that sponsor music lessons and instrument rental for at risk children are first and foremost changing the lives of the most vulnerable children in the U.S. As a thank you for the generosity of our business partners, we provide an effective platform for businesses to build their brand around their corporate generosity.

Research proves that corporations that give back have a significantly higher brand appeal and loyalty rate. Corporations engaged in social good also positively impact their own employees at work satisfaction and company loyalty. Being a champion for at-risk children provides the opportunity for employees to stay in touch with their sponsored child, providing a source of joy and sense of being cared about for children who in many instances have been terribly abused and discarded.

We urgently need your help for thousands of U.S. orphans living in group homes and shelters

around our country. These orphaned children have already experienced so much pain and loss from unimaginable child abuse and neglect. They need the opportunity to heal through the therapy of playing a musical instrument. We are an IRS registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and your generous gift is tax deductible. As a result of our financial transparency and integrity, we have been awarded the Guidestar Gold Transparency Seal. You can trust us that your tax deductible gift goes to change abused orphans lives. Please do what you can to help these children!
