Review for Alice's Kids, ALEXANDRIA, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a very recent donor to this organization, but I am so impressed with what Alice's Kids does, and I am particularly impressed by the fact that the kids they serve never know that they are receiving charity.

When you can't afford to buy a yearbook, or new shoes, or go to the prom, or take a specialized course, or get supplies to properly pursue extracurricular interests, it makes you feel "less than." I recall that feeling viscerally, even though it was long ago. The little things that Alice's Kids provide are little triumphs that can change how kids in need see themselves.

And as if their great work was not enough, after I donated for the first time, Ron Fitzsimmons -- the Executive Director of Alice's Kids -- wrote me a personal email, thanking me for my donation... not a form letter, not one of those nonprofit Mad Libs. We had a lovely exchange. That made me even more impressed by their personal investment and commitment.

You may also like to know that since my donation, I have not been inundated by emails from them, as I am with so many other charities and nonprofits.

I'm so glad that I stumbled upon this organization, and they can count on my support as long as I am able to give.
