Thank you, Ms. Harris, for trusting us to be there to answer your calls. Thank you to the 40,000 children and families who have also trusted us to be there these past 25 years. Thank you to our partners and supporters who made it possible for us to achieve our victories and overcome challenges.

Tuesday evening was a time for thank yous. But it was much more than that. It was a celebration of our impact and a reflection on the realities of what DC kids and families are facing today.

Over the coming weeks, we will continue to share our thanks.

For today, I’m here with two requests:

Will you help us meet our match?

Kids like Ms. Harris’ are the reason Children’s Law Center began 25 years ago. And the reason I am asking for your support today.

Take some time to learn more about Ms. Harris’ fight for her children. And find out how Ms. Solis’ son, Jimmy – a child we worked with more than a decade ago – is doing today. Then, please, make a gift.

If you give before October 31, your gift will be matched* dollar for dollar! AND anyone who makes a new Kite Club level gift of $1,500 or more will have their gift matched 2 to 1!

Spread the Word

Can you share this video with friends, family and colleagues so we can continue this work for years to come?

With your gift, more children like Ms. Harris’ can graduate high school or be on track to graduate college. More kids like Jimmy can dream of the future he wants.

I know I can’t send an email every time a child graduates high school or share videos every time a child learns to walk or talk. But I hope you know that your support is what makes each milestone possible.

With gratitude,

P.S. Thank you to our Visionary and Champion sponsors for stepping up and paving the way during these challenging times. Click here to view all our sponsors.
