PROJECT Flip Flop

Leading up to the last day of school, kids are counting down the days,

but for most foster and homeless kids it's painful.

​

At school they hear their classmates talking about what they're going to do over the summer - camp, taking swim lessons, going on family vacations... Homeless kids are worried about food and shelter.  Group homes can't afford camp or expensive lessons.  Precious children dream about having a family that loves them.

Please DO NOT write a note like this:

I hope you find a family!  

If you're nice maybe you'll get a family.

I'm sorry you don't have a family.

We cannot give notes like this to our children. It hurts their feelings. Thank you! xo
