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.

Your Friend,

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
