My Nonprofit Reviews

I work for a Dept of Family Services in a county government in Virginia. I come across families in need all the time in my line of work. In one such instance, where funds were limited to the basics of food and rent, Alice's Kids helped a young boy with autism obtain a child's guitar so that he could play with his Dad. The parents of this young boy cried when their son opened the guitar, put it into place, and starting strumming as if he had been given lessons for years. It was a smile on the boy's face they hadn't seen in a while! He is very musically talented. He continues to play the guitar every day and that was over 2 years ago!!
Another incident was a single mother who transferred to Virginia from NJ and was barely making it by (working full time) but having no extra funds for activities for her VERY ACTIVE 9 year old son. Thanks to Alice's Kids, the boy was given 10 weeks of gymnastics! The mother was able to apply for another scholarship within the gym and by the end of that 10 weeks, she had a raise in her job and was able to continue his gymnastic lessons! We all need a chance and we all need help at times....Alice's Kids reaches those who could use that break and use that help! It's one time needs that get met that can change a parent's perspective on life and can change the attitude of a child within minutes! Thank you Alice's Kids for your generous support of children!
