Looking Back, Looking Ahead

 

Wow, it’s hard to believe there are only a few days left in 2018. Together, we’ve accomplished so much this year. As of the end of 2018 with your help, we have:

  • Cared for 1,486 children.
  • 505 volunteers have stepped up to serve families in their communities through Safe Families for Children.
  • Across the western region, 22 Safe Families for Children chapters are actively reaching out to families in crisis.

All of these milestones are worth celebrating, but the need to care for families in crisis remains significant.

Looking ahead, if you’re planning on making a gift to Safe Families this year, or if you’re finding that you have more you’d like to give to charity before the end of the year, there’s still time!

“The families caring for my children have been a beacon of hope in my life. I can’t wait until the day I can look back and share my story of how far my family has come because of the way others cared for my children when I couldn’t.”– Single Dad of Four Children

You are a part of the support that helped care for this father’s children in 2018. And your year-end gift today is critical to helping us start strong in 2019. Many doors are opening to us all over the West — we need to say “yes” to these opportunities. Won’t you help us?

Your generosity has brought relief and hope to families all across the West this year. We are so grateful and are looking ahead with enthusiasm to 2019.

God bless you,
Dr. Karen Bergstrom
Executive Director of Western States
