Motherless Child Initiative

msteph13 — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:55:16 -0500

There is a large number of young people who have been abandoned by their biological parents, and, sometimes adoptive parents. This abandonment leaves young people feeling less than worthy during a critical point in their development. It is my belief that everyone needs encouragement. This is true especially for those abandoned early in life. The goal of this initiative is to ensure that young people who have experienced abandonment remain in school, get an education, and live out their dreams.

In the United Sates alone, an estimated 2.7 million animals in shelters are euthanized each year. Many of these animals are killed due to minor problems that include age, weight, and treatable ailments. For my Senior Project, I was a foster parent to these animals, where I not only helped save their lives, but also made them eligible for adoption.

The Bear Hug Project is a project that I came up with I came up with to donate teddy bears, as well as a load of other things, to children in childrens hospitals and in foster care in the state of Florida. I came up with the idea for this project because I want these children not to feel as if they are neglected. I want to make them feel as if they are special because they ARE in fact special in every way. I would like to expand to hospitals and centers in the other 49 states as well. Besides donating teddy bears I plan on doing different projects and fundraisers with the help of others.
