Help Children as the Economy Struggles

Sponsored by: American Humane Association

There's been no shortage of news stories about the tough economic times affecting this country.

But behind the headlines about foreclosures, unemployment and inflation lies the real story - the story of families and children who desperately need help. Sometimes under such duress parents make choices they wish they hadn't and children get hurt or don't get their basic needs met.

American Humane's Front Porch Project represents hope for vulnerable children. It's a proven training program that brings community members together, giving them the knowledge and tools it takes to support each other through tough times and keep children safe.  

The Front Porch Project has already had a huge impact in Florida, where its implementation has affected more than 10,000 children in the Tampa area.

Having children is a choice people make, the children did not have the luxury of being asked for this journey of life. It is a parents responsibility to protect and guide; and if these parents do not understand this, already being to late to opt out of having their child(ren), then they must seek out the wisdom of someone who does. Since the children are the future, let's not see them make the same mistakes as their parents.
