It was a drab and rainy day when the three middle school girls arrived for class. Once again they were wearing wrinkled, dirty uniforms. When a Sister asked, “What happened to your uniforms?” their response was: “Mom can’t use the washing machine in the homeless shelter.” Taken aback at this revelation, the Sister sprang into action: fresh uniforms and help for the mother to find a suitable place to raise her three girls.
This is only one of many stories. Our Children’s Fund is vital to our mission that is focused on children and families, especially those most at risk.
In the Eastern U.S. alone, 100 Salesian Sisters are dedicated to educate 10,000 children in schools, parishes, youth centers and summer camps across five states.
The future of Catholic education depends on the generosity of people like you. To date, our Children’s Fund has allowed children, some of whom have been orphaned, to attend our schools, provided playgrounds for our inner-city schools, and given food and clothing to our students and their families suffering from emergency situations.
We are making a difference, but there are still many more children who need our help. Will you send a gift to help us reach our goal of offering real help to those in need?
Your gift will provide tuition, financial assistance and so much more to our needy yet deserving students and families.
Don Bosco said, “Do you want to do a good deed? Teach the young! Do you want to perform a holy act? Teach the young! Do you want to do a holy thing? Teach the young! Truly, now and for the future, among holy things, this is the holiest.”
Your help is vital to our mission. Please give to help as many children as you can. In the words of a dear friend, “Give until it feels good!”
To help a child or children in need, you may do so online.
