RainforestMaker (www.rainforestmaker.org) is committed to raising awareness, encouraging people to live more in balance with nature, and inspiring them and the companies they work for to replant the trees they have used. The Earth is at a critical stage in its history and we have the ability to preserve it. The mission is to grow back the Earth’s rainforests.

For more than 200 years, The Home for Little Wanderers has earned a reputation for doing whatever it takes to 
strengthen vulnerable families and keep children safe in their communities, even when they don’t have family support. 
Serving children and youth from birth to 22, The Home makes a positive impact on over 7,000 lives across Boston and 
Eastern Massachusetts each year through a network of behavioral health services, therapeutic residential, special 
education, adoption and foster care. Additionally, a number of innovative programs provide specialized assistance 
to youth transitioning to adulthood from state systems of care. We continuously measure the impact of our work to 
develop and enhance our programs. We never give up on children. And we don’t let children give up on themselves. For
