Dear Friends,

As the year draws to a close, we at Graham are thankful for our friends and supporters who make our vital work even more impactful. Our goal is for every kid to have a safe, loving home—and the opportunities to thrive. This year, with support from our friends, Graham helped more than 4,000 kids and families overcome some of life’s most difficult challenges. 

We count on donations from individuals to help us develop and deploy our signature programs and services. Your gift today could fund the work of Graham SLAM coaches who mentor youth to ensure they have the abiding loving guidance they need to achieve their education and career goals. Individual gifts also support family advocates who reunite families and keep them together by teaching parents how to be the best they can be—a task often complicated by the stressors of poverty. Contributions from friends like you are also directed to our community centers and school-based programs in Harlem and the Bronx.

As you know, the pressures of poverty directly impact child development and family well-being. Your gift today can also help Graham support families in crisis to provide nurturing care for their children, by providing essentials.

• The little ones need diapers and baby formula.
• The kids and youth need winter coats and mittens.
• Their parents need help putting food on the table and keeping the heat on. 

They all need our support. In the spirit of the season, please make a gift of $100 or more to Graham to help our kids and families get through the winter months and emerge from the pandemic with strength and health.

With abundant gratitude for all that you do for and give to Graham,

Kimberly Watson
Chief Operating Officer

 

P.S. If you have already made a year-end gift to Graham please accept our appreciation for your generosity.
