Dear John,
Giving Tuesday is here, and that means it’s the last day of our Make a Difference Challenge. Will Children's Defene Fund (CDF) reach our goal of 100 gifts of any size by midnight?
Your gift today, big or small, will benefit children and youth like Brooklyn and Adam, who participated in a CDF Freedom Schools® program:

“This program exposed Brooklyn to books with characters that relate to her. In the book Imani’s Moon, she was able to see an African girl who looked like her, who had a big dream and worked hard to reach her goals. It was an incredible message that she really internalized. It is this type of exposure that really helps develop a love of literacy.”
—Jessie, Brooklyn’s mom

“Other summer programs focus on just babysitting us. Freedom Schools actually teaches kids. We learn in a way that when we go back to school we don’t forget things. Instead of forcing education and facts into us, we learn through books and discussions.”
—Adam, age 13

Your gift provides space for children and youth to grow and dream. It also equips Children’s Defense Fund to uplift them at federal and state levels, advocating for their needs.
John, will you be 1 of the 100 today?
Together, we can ensure that every young person has the tools and opportunities they need to thrive. Thank you in advance for standing with them and joining the 100!
