Our volunteer coordinator, Katarina, at Cardinal Elementary School in Virginia, wrote to us recently to thank our sponsors for their invaluable support.

Katarina’s Letter

“For the third consecutive year, I’ve had the privilege of working with the Children Incorporated Program. The impact of this program on the lives of the 25 children we serve is truly remarkable. Each child received clothing for the winter and summer, ensuring they were appropriately dressed throughout the school year. However, there were a few instances that truly underscored the importance and impact of the monthly contributions.”

“I will forever be in awe and sing the praises of this program made possible by our dedicated sponsors.”

“One in particular that stood out was when a 5th-grade boy spent the first two weeks of school without clothing. I contacted their guardians and explained that the child did not have clothing to start attending school. He had gone through a growth spurt over the summer; whereas he was in boys’ sizes at the end of last school year, he was now wearing men’s clothing. I could purchase him clothes that fit well, and he began to attend school the day after they were delivered.”

“This is a testament to the consistent success of Children’s Incorporated, a success that would not be possible without the steadfast support of our sponsors. Their contributions, both financial and moral, are what make it possible for us to provide children with clean, well-fitting clothes. This not only restores their dignity but also alleviates the fear of standing out or being bullied. It eliminates a barrier to their education, and relieving this burden from their young shoulders brings back the joy of childhood. I will forever be in awe and sing the praises of this program made possible by our dedicated sponsors.”
