Dear Supporters
Unless you work in the juvenile courts or in social services,
you may never hear about the critical resources vulnerable children or families urgently need at this very moment,
in order to take the next positive step forward. Resources that can make a world of difference, but are simply not available.
But because of you, we not only hear, we quickly respond!
Together we are changing lives and making better outcomes possible. One child at a time, one need at a time.
Here is a recent story:
"I am working with a 19 year old young woman who grew up in foster care. She never found a permanent home and has no reliable family connections either. She works as a cashier and hopes to also start community college next semester.
She is a hard worker but struggles to find stable friends to live with. She has had many bad experiences living with people who either didn't pay their share of the rent or stole her belongings.
She finally found a small apartment she could afford but then saw she did not have enough money to cover move-in costs....
Thank you for paying for the security deposit.
She is in a much safer situation now because of this assistance and feels far more optimistic about her future.
I so appreciate that One Can Help was able to help her."

By providing the missing resources our most vulnerable children and families urgently need, you not only help improve difficult lives, you also advance racial justice and equity because most children and families in the juvenile court and child welfare system are low income and predominantly of color. It is difficult to achieve positive outcomes when resources are not obtainable.
