“It takes a village to raise a child.” In these modern times and this continued race of life we are consumed in, some of our most vulnerable are in danger of being forgotten. Thousands of children are in need in our communities, in our village. We want to help give these children the necessities they need, so they can live the productive lives they’re intended to live. It’s time we come together and take care of our children, help change their outlook and give them the chances they deserve.
