Childhelp USA

  • Mood: Angry
  • Music: Michael Buble, It's Time

I just managed to watch a movie called "FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" with Peri Gilpin and Teri Polo. It was about the two women, Sara O'Meara and Yvonne Fedderson who founded Childhelp USA.  For anyone who isn't familiar with it, it's a non-profit organization that helps abused and neglected children and their families.

I didn't think much would be shocking anymore, but it still is.  I can't imagine how any parent, or any other person for that matter, could abuse a child.  According to their statistics, 4 children die every day in this country as a direct result of abuse.  That number should be a great big ZERO.  With more organizations like this one, and greater support from the government and private citizens, then maybe more can be done to help these hurting children.

Visit the site, www.childhelpusa.org and consider making a donation or volunteering to help out in some other way.  Get in touch with your government representatives and tell them that the money currently being wasted by this administration should be going to more worthy causes, such as this one and so many others.
