Project Smart -- Fill a Heart 4 kids
Help orphans and foster kids feel prepared on the first day by donating school supplies to Project Smart
Project Smart... Can we help orphans and foster kids living in-group homes feel prepared on the first day of school? The burden of worrying and the feeling of shame that they won't have enough school supplies on the first day of school can be lifted from their shoulders.
When the classmates arrive with fun school supplies...it's painful for kids living without families. They wish they had parents to take them shopping. Orphans and foster children are under a lot of stress. Fill a Heart 4 kids is striving to make sure orphans and foster children have the supplies they need so that they can focus on what’s important –learning.
It’s critical for orphans and foster kids like Casey get off to the right start at the beginning of the school year!!! You can surprise Casey or one of her friends on the first day of school with school supplies and a special note! If you don't have time to shop, please consider making a $15 donation and we'll make sure to deliver your generous gift to orphans and foster kids in need.
