Dear Friend:
|
|
This is not newsletter. It is a fund-raising appeal.
|
|
But there's no reason why we shouldn't share good news at the same
|
|
time. Federal, state and local governments are freezing or withdrawing
|
|
much-needed funding sources for people who are truly in need. In spite of
|
|
that, Pleasant Run Children's Homes, with the help of hundreds of
|
|
volunteers and others who really care, continues to make a significant
|
|
impact on the futures of families and kids in need of help.
|
|
We all hear about today's increases in neglect, abuse and abandonment
|
|
of those who can't fight back: children. Yet few of us hear enough about
|
|
kids who live through these adversities and do make the grade.
|
|
The positive side. These are special children. They come into a
|
|
Pleasant Run program... whether it's for therapeutic help in their own
|
|
homes (which nurtures whole families), through foster care families or in
|
|
the familial surroundings of our residential homes.
|
|
For some, it's a matter of weeks or months; for others, it's years.
|
|
They leave Pleasant Run, generally, ready and able to contribute to
|
|
society. We're proud of our children and all that they overcome.
|
|
We are a not-for-profit, multi-service agency. We wouldn't exist if
|
|
the need weren't there. The numbers of children who deserve our services
|
|
are rising... as quickly as our programs can grow to serve them.
|
|
Please help us help them. Pleasant Run Children's Homes... "where good
|
|
kids get better."
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
Mary Roth Tom Hirschauer
