Story

Dear friends,

We're asking for your help. We believe the best way to effect lasting change for under-resourced communities is to invest in the next generation’s ability to succeed for themselves. Horton’s Kids does exactly that - providing academic tutoring, social and emotional development, mental health support, and basic needs such as food and clothing supplies -  and they’re amazing at it. They’re working to meet 2020’s challenges, including getting every child online for virtual classes - an expensive but crucial goal. 

Horton’s needs funding to do this vital work at this especially critical time, so are holding a free virtual reception event on November 18th at 7pm EST. Whether or not you can tune in to that, we're asking for your generous donations.  

  • Please let us know if you have any questions about my campaign, my goal, or Horton's Kids. 
  • Please share this campaign page with your friends and colleagues. 
  • Please donate today,  as much as you can afford. Our philosophy is that investing in a small number of effective organisations, rather than spreading small donations across many, has the most impact overall.

Thank you,

J&J
