Our volunteer coordinator, Genevieve, at Sebastian Elementary School in Kentucky, writes to us to express how much of an impact our program has had on the children at her school and herself.
A Letter from Genevieve
As a Family Resource Youth Services Center Coordinator, I would like to shine a bright spotlight on Children Incorporated. There is no other program that helps children in our area like this one. It amazes me how quickly Children Incorporated responds to crises; I always call Children Incorporated “My First Responder.”
“I believe strongly in its mission and hope to build a brighter future and offer faith to little souls out there in the world.”
In times of flood, fire, or the death of a loved one, this program is the best. I have been at this educational facility for 19 years, and the children who walk through our doors always know where to turn for extra support from a caring pen pal in the form of a sponsor. With a third of our student population being raised by a relative, not the parent, Children Incorporated steps in with a much-needed resource.
When I retire in a few short years, my first plan is to become a sponsor for a child enrolled in the Children Incorporated program. This is the beginning of my bucket list, and I am deeply committed to this program. I believe strongly in its mission and hope to build a brighter future and offer faith to little souls out there in the world.
Being a volunteer coordinator has been an amazing blessing to me, and I want to pay it back. I never want to stop participating in this program, which I love.
Once again, thank you for letting me have a small part in helping in the lives of the children.
