Yesterday I received some of my case sheets and wanted to share with you a little bit about the kids we will be helping this year.

2 ½ year old girl – Lives with her parents at “nana’s house” because both parent were laid off within 3 weeks of each other.

4 year old boy – Was diagnosed with PPD (a form of autism) this past spring. His mother is a single mother and struggled with the reality of this diagnosis and arranged to have the child live somewhere else. 

That placement did not work so he was placed in foster care. His mother is now making an effort to regain custody and care for him.

4 year old boy – Lives with single mother, has moved a lot father has no contact. Very busy curious child who loves to be outside.

18 mo girl – Lives with single mom at fathers parent’s house. Dad is incarcerated in California.

 
You can't read these and not feel a huge tug at your heart, at least I can't! Reading these also makes me proud to be part of a group of people who want to make a difference and help these families.

This week I will be working at the SEA Headquarters helping match sponsors to case sheets. I will blog at the end of the week to let you know how the matching of the case sheets go.
