World Vision has received outerwear and footwear donations valuing more than $53 million from several generous clothing manufacturers, and now needs the funds to ship and distribute these items to the children who need them most.
Our gift of $100 will multiply 14 times, paying to ship $1,400 worth of new pants, sturdy shoes, protective jackets, and more to children in 20 countries around the world.
From the World Vision website:
Countless children are suffering from colds, influenza, and even pneumonia because they lack one simple thing: warm clothes. Many shiver in sub-zero temperatures. Without protection from the elements, they are susceptible to illness and infection. The poorest of the poor have only tattered rags, or even no clothes to wear at all. Please give now to protect these children with warm coats, sweaters, scarves, pants, shoes, socks, boots, and more.
Imagine facing these temperatures without adequate clothing:
•Mongolia, -58°
•Romania, -20°
•Albania, -2°
•Bosnia, 26°
•Chile, 7°
“If I am warm, I am happy and I have peace ... I am very grateful to World Vision for this jacket,” says Enkhtor, an appreciative 15-year-old boy in Mongolia. Without the jacket, he was unable to attend school, prepare firewood for the family, or collect water from the well. Can you help other children like Enkhtor?
Considering how FREEZING it is here in Utah, I feel very good about this latest donation we've made in Warren's honor.
