Do you remember all the fun you had during summer vacation? I do! Playing outside all day long, running through sprinklers, eating popsicles, riding bikes, going to friend's houses and even having a Kool-Aid stand when our mom's held garage sales. Did you ever go to camp? How about going swimming at the lake? Many times those things cost money, and fortunately our parents were able to provide for us so we could do those things.
What about the kids who aren't able to do those things because of where they live? What if they don't have the money? How about if they have never been out of the city? Shouldn't they still be allowed to have a fun summer? Can't they still have fun and be kids?
Of course they can, and they should!
Of course they can, and they should!
You can help provide free summer vacations to children in NYC through The Fresh Air Fund. Any donation you make by June 30th, will be matched dollar for dollar.
This made me smile.
