Giving Tuesday: Transforming Lives with One More Child

For millions of children and families, poverty and hunger are daily struggles—but your generosity this Giving Tuesday can change lives and turn despair into hope.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2023 report, 13.7% of children under 18—approximately 10 million—are living in poverty. At One More Child, Giving Tuesday is a powerful opportunity to partner with other generous hearts and hands to make a difference—reaching one more vulnerable child and one more family in need on the brink of crisis.

For children like Lanita*, the world can be a cruel and isolating place. At just 15, she ran away, crossed state lines, and fell into the clutches of a human trafficker. Groomed and abused, her circumstances left her struggling with mental health challenges, substance misuse, and fractured family relationships.

For Maria*, a single mom, life was a constant uphill battle. Without reliable transportation, she juggled public transit and borrowed rides to get to work, take her child to daycare, and handle basic errands. The stress of these daily challenges compounded the weight of being the sole provider for her child, making it nearly impossible to pursue a brighter future.

For foster children like Jailyn*, the concept of family can feel like a distant dream. Years of instability and uncertainty leave foster children longing for a sense of belonging and love—a safe place to call home.

And though despair persists, there is also hope—because of you.

Generous financial gifts have empowered us to step into these moments of crisis, offering tangible help and life-changing hope.

Lanita received the care and resources she needed to escape her trafficker and begin her journey toward healing. Maria was gifted a refurbished 2017 Toyota Corolla, providing her the independence to manage her daily life and pursue her dreams of returning to school. Jailyn was among 21 children who were adopted into forever homes by One More Child foster families, gaining the love and stability they longed for.

This vital work is possible only because of the kindness of people like you. Your generosity fuels programs that provide safety, restore dignity, and open doors to brighter futures.

Maria’s own words say it best: “The program has also helped me get my life back on track, giving me the confidence and motivation to pursue my goals. I have always dreamed of going back to school, and the program has made it possible for me to do so. I am now taking steps toward a brighter future, and I am excited to see where this new path takes me.”
