Monies for the program's activities are obtained through fundraisers, donations from individuals, service clubs, organizations, churches, foundations and businesses. By satisfying a child's most basic needs such as attention, affection, praise, recognition, and status, volunteers hope to raise the child's self-esteem. Children are referred to us from parents, schools, agencies, or citizens. Parents and children must be willing to cooperate.
