Sometimes life begins in a very difficult place. For example… in a stadium.
That’s where, just a few days ago, someone left Mercy, not yet two months old. Alone. Without a name, without a crib, without a bottle of milk, without anyone to say, “It’s okay now, I’m here.”
Today, Mercy is at Kasisi. She has her own bed. She has the warm hands of the Sisters and the aunties. She has milk, a doctor, and peace. And most importantly, she has a HOME. A home where children are already waiting to take her to the playground as soon as she takes her first steps.
We cannot undo what Mercy has already experienced in her life. But we can do something very important: give her a childhood.
One with food on the table. With medical care. With preschool. With books and school. With safety. With a future. And with a BIG DOSE OF LOVE.
And that is exactly what your 1.5% makes possible.
It’s a small gesture when filing your taxes, but a BIG change in the lives of 250 children whom the world, just like Mercy, seemed ready to forget at the very beginning.
Please remember Kasisi when you enter the KRS number.
And if you receive a tax refund, you can put it back into our machine that has been doing one very simple thing for years: putting the broken stories of the youngest children back together into peaceful childhoods full of smiles.
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
