Please note: Fund families may or may not have individual fundraisers or accept donations directly, apart from the Fund. However, all families featured here are struggling to feed and clothe their children despite their best efforts. All individual fundraisers are monitored and consulted before funds are distributed to ensure that the children who have gone without support (food, formula, diapers, etc.) the longest are the first to be served.
