📊 Understanding the Impact 📊 This #CAPMonth, let's look at the numbers: Over 650,000 children were found to be victims of maltreatment in the US last year, and this is likely an underestimate. Behind these numbers are real children facing real challenges. But there's hope – through our collective efforts, we can make a difference. Initiatives like Digital Advocacy Day, Wearing Blue Day, and donations to PCAA play a crucial role. These actions strengthen our fight against child abuse and neglect, ensuring every child has the chance to grow up in a safe, loving environment. You can help today: https://lnkd.in/gYFGwsQs #PreventionInPartnership #DonateToPCAA #ChildAbuseStatistics

Step 1) WATCH “DEAD ON ARRIVAL” at the bottom of “FentanylFathers.org” home page. Step 2) If you know a High School principal, health teacher or coach, ASK THEM for us. They have the power to book that school into a full assembly. We’ll leave that High School Fentanyl FREE. Highlights of what they’ll see: https://lnkd.in/gefXZvwV Step 3) High Five, Pat On The Back, Atta Boy, A Toast To YOU! - You just saved multiple lives. 25,000 U.S. High Schools with 110,000 annual deaths represents more than 4 per high school. Your accomplishment is better than a donation, although those are very helpful as well. “The overdose epidemic is a national crisis, and for millions of Americans, it is personal. Too many families have lost their children, siblings, parents, and friends to substance misuse and overdose…the Biden-Harris administration is recognizing all those who have lost someone to an overdose.” - The White House https://lnkd.in/gjKQYKiv https://lnkd.in/guqx2agR https://lnkd.in/gMukMi8G

What would it take for all of us to age without worry? For three years in a row, more older Americans are living in poverty, according to the latest Census data. It’s possible you may have asked yourself: ❓Will Social Security be enough to help me in retirement? ❓Should I buy food OR pay for this prescription? ❓Is Medicare enough to pay for my health care? ❓Will my children have access to any of these important programs in the future? When you donate to NCOA, we put your gift to work to ensure you never have to ask these questions again. Our resources, tools, and advocacy empowers people to age with dignity and independence. Last year alone, NCOA improved the health and financial security of 2.3 million Americans. But millions more are struggling and we can only reach them with your support. You still have time to make a difference. Your ONE small act could turn doubt into hope. Give to NCOA by December 31 and know your generosity changed lives. https://lnkd.in/eC3ffp2a

10/18/23 UPDATE: Only $76,000 more to go! Please encourage your friends, family, and networks to donate to this incredible program. URGENT APPEAL: $250,000 NEEDED TO CONTINUE SINGLE MOTHERS PROGRAM Our mission to support and empower single mothers in our community is at a critical juncture. We are reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea for help. Our single mothers rely heavily on the generosity of sponsors who have provided invaluable support over the years. Unfortunately, due to economic uncertainty, some donors and sponsors have had to pull away, leaving us with a financial need of $250,000. Without immediate action, the dreams and aspirations of these strong, determined women hang in the balance. These single mothers have shown incredible resilience in the face of adversity. They are striving to create better lives for their children, working tirelessly to pursue education, gain meaningful employment, and break the cycle of generational poverty. By supporting them, you are not just contributing to their well-being, but also investing in the future of their children. We understand that times are challenging for everyone, but when a community comes together, there's nothing we cannot achieve, TOGETHER. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a tremendous impact, give these women hope, and help WIT have the operating resources we need to support them.
