Riechel Reports.... Children's Fund of San Mateo County

“The Children’s Fund of San Mateo County CA is dedicated to helping low-income and foster children maintain and improve their quality of life.”
In 2016, the Children’s Fund will serve more than 4,500 low-income and foster children, newborn to age 18, in San Mateo County.
"Thank you for the backpacks and school supplies. Without it, I would have had to carry all my books in my arms."
"This program is a lifesaver! The families in my caseload would not have nearly enough baby clothes to wear if it wasn't for the Children's Fund."
"Without your program, my children would not have any gifts to open on Christmas."
“Thank You for helping me get my smile beautiful. I hope other people are able to receive beautiful smiles like mine….. I feel very happy because you’re all wonderful people with very big hearts.”
"The duffle bag you gave to a teenager in foster care meant that he didn't have to walk around school all day with his clothes in a garbage bag."
