Reading through this article was truly harrowing. In times when funding resources are stretched thin, it's crucial for us to collectively prioritise the well-being of every child, especially those who are in the most vulnerable situations and require additional support to flourish. As the CEO of a grassroots charity dedicated to supporting families in our local community, I witness first hand the transformative power of transparency, accountability, and strong governance that align with the charity's mission, vision, and core values. These elements not only bring about incredible social value but also ensure that our efforts are making a tangible difference in the lives of those we aim to support. However, as we delve into the broader context, it becomes evident that somewhere along the line, something is amiss. The current state of care for vulnerable children demands urgent attention and systematic change. We need to come together to advocate for policies and practices that put the needs and well-being of these children at the forefront. What steps can we take as a community, as organisations, and as individuals to address this pressing issue? It's time for collaborative efforts, innovative solutions, and unwavering commitment to ensuring that every child in care receives the stability and support they deserve to thrive. Let's work towards a future where no child is left behind, overlooked, or underserved. #ChildWelfare #community #home #enrichments #extramile #suppprt #VulnerableChildren #FundingStruggles #CommunitySupport #TransparencyMatters #CharityWork #SocialValue #Advocacy #ChildrenInNeed #SystemicChange

Sometimes trafficking survivors who call in for help may need help, but the Covered safe house isn’t the right fit for them. For example, they may already have housing established and start struggling. Covered helps by walking alongside them to get them back on their feet. Or, if a survivor does not have housing, Covered can assist by providing hotels for emergency shelter. Then, our team will work with the survivor on the best plan of action for helping them to heal and become self-sufficient. Meanwhile, in cases where it is too dangerous for survivors to live in Colorado, we will move them out of state. Visit coveredcolorado.org to learn more and make a difference for survivors today. #coveredcolorado #givelocal #safehouse #humantraffickingawareness #sextraffickingawareness #denvernonprofit #counseling #traumarecovery #therapy #healing #endhumantrafficking #giving #realestate #corealestate #denverlocal #socialgood #positiveimpact #communityimpact #coloradononprofit #philanthropy #fundraising #helpingothers #empowerment #empowertowardhealing #fightingforfutures #community #localdenver #denverlocal

📢 Call to action from the community in Asheville! 📢 Hello - I’m Katie Reph. I work in aging services in Asheville, North Carolina, servicing various areas in Western North Carolina, and I am writing this to you as a call to action for the senior citizens and especially solo agers in our area. There has been an incredible response from the community coming together to create a list of resources, places to go, and sharing of information, and I applaud every one of these efforts. What I would like to bring attention to is the large percentage of senior citizens, homebound, individuals, solo agers, and those that may not be able to access these resources independently. Did you know that 45% of people 65+ in Buncombe County live alone? And 32% live with a disability - much higher than the national average. I am writing this as a call to action: Please get out into your communities, walk your neighborhood street, knock on the doors of the elderly around you, and find out what they need so that people can get those resources for them. Do you know or have you found a senior citizen in Buncombe County who is unable to leave their homes to get donations and resources? Please plug their name, address and phone number into this form and they will be assigned to a volunteer. https://lnkd.in/eH27YK4t Are you a willing and able volunteer who can deliver donations to the elderly in need once a day? Sign up here. https://lnkd.in/ex6csnQK Those who attend churches or other various ministries or organized groups: As I’m sure many of you are already doing, please attempt to make contact with your members and understand, if they are over the age of 65, if they need donations delivered or any assistance. If you know of services or resources that will deliver directly to senior homes, please respond to me and I will gather this information so we can leverage those for our seniors in need. There are still many people who do not have any way to call for help, you may be their only potential lifeline. One door knock, one phone call, one gallon of water shared can make a huge difference. If you cannot help on the ground or are not in the area, no problem! Make phone calls, share this with your network, organize documents and information for sharing, anything. We will take every bit of help you can offer. My number is 828-398-8680. If you get my VM it is for Pre-Op Solutions which is my company. Texts seem easiest when able. Thank you all so much, Katie

#TuesdayTips - Successful major gift officers are known for their decisive nature. However, they do not let their ego come in the way of making and evaluating decisions in the best interest of potential major gift donors and their respective organizations. They are always ready to take corrective action when the current major gift approach is no longer effective, maintain an open mind to change, and continuously review the direction they are taking. #majorgifts #philanthropy #fundraising #healthgiving #healthphilanthropy

I am very grateful and proud of the Women's Initiative from TLC Engineering Solutions for supporting the Bag of Hope Project this month. The Bag of Hope initiative aims to provide the resources necessary for Foster Children aging out of the foster care system. Here are some studies that will help understand why these Foster Children need the help of the community. Some studies have estimated the cost of incarcerating youth who have been involved in the foster care system. The numbers are staggering when it comes to kids aging out of the care system without resources, often leading to homelessness or incarceration. For example, a 2016 report by the Juvenile Law Center estimated that in Pennsylvania, the cost of incarcerating a young adult who had been involved in the foster care system was approximately $324 per day, or $118,260 per year. The report noted that this cost is significantly higher than the cost of providing community-based alternatives to incarceration. According to a report by the Utah Juvenile Justice Working Group, the average daily cost of incarcerating youth in a Utah detention center was approximately $289 daily in 2018. This figure includes the cost of direct care and custody, education, and healthcare services. The state spends more than $8,000 per month on each youth incarcerated. What if we could avoid this situation in our community? This is the mission of the Hope Foundation for Foster Youth Housing. We want to be the support these young people need and provide them with the tools to become self-reliant, both physically and emotionally, as well as financially. Please, friends, if you can share and support our cause, you will make a difference in this nation. I am counting on you. As a former foster child myself, I know the challenges these young people face every day of their lives since being placed in the system and aging out. They need us. #BagOfHope #FosterCareSupport #YouthEmpowerment #CommunitySupport #HopeFoundation #AgingOut #EndYouthIncarceration #SupportOurYouth #ChangeLives #MakeADifference
This month our Women’s initiative is excited to support the Hope Foundation for Foster Youth Housing during their Bag of Hope Charity Event, providing vital resources to children transitioning in and out of the foster care system.
