U.S. Foster Children Sidelined - June 2022 Newsletter

I hope you are doing well! I know there is a lot going on in the world around us, but the well-being of our nation’s children should always remain a top priority. You need to know that U.S. orphans continue to be forced onto the sidelines to be wounded again. All of the wonderful summer memories we all look back on as part of growing up are painfully absent for U.S. orphans living in group homes. While other children go off to family vacations, summer camps, Disneyland, sports leagues, and more, they stay stuffed into group homes. They live there with other physically and emotionally abused children. Their worldly possessions fit in a garbage bag, as they wait to move to the next group home, different care provider, and different school.

Our hearts break for these children who desperately want to be loved and nurtured in a forever family. We can’t change their status as orphans, but we can help with their emotional healing through the transformational power of therapeutic music lessons. Below are a few of the children’s stories.

Project: Save Our Summer is Ongoing
It is Changing Orphans Lives for the Better!

This is what Riley told us about how music lessons are helping her cope:

“Music classes have helped me so much. I started with voice lessons, but Mrs. S helps me with piano too! Getting to sing and play piano help me de-stress my life if even just a little. I have my own little world to go to and get lost in making music and forget the stress I usually live in.”

Everett is so grateful for the help:

“My home life is not great. I hoped playing piano would help and boy, I was right. Piano is something I get to do for me. Thank you Mr. M for helping me.”

The feedback from the orphaned children brings me such joy. You can share in the joy of transforming broken U.S. children’s lives by giving the gift of healing and hope. Please act now – we can’t do this without help from compassionate people like you.

These are just a couple of the stories about providing hope that replaces hurt for the almost 400,000 abused children living in the U.S. foster care system. With all of the crazy news in the world, you can still change a child’s life – remind them that they are not forgotten or abandoned. Please give the gift of healing to a child that has been abused in ways you don’t want to imagine.

We have to act now to help them heal! Therapeutic music lessons are proven to help heal PTSD and improve educational outcomes. These abused children urgently need your help to heal!

Please partner with me – every dollar counts. Let’s save the summer 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

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!
