PROJECT Flip Flop™
Leading up to the last day of school, kids are counting down the days,
but for most foster and homeless kids it's painful.
​
At school they hear their classmates talking about what they're going to do over the summer - camp, taking swim lessons, going on family vacations... Homeless kids are worried about food and shelter. Group homes can't afford camp or expensive lessons. Precious children dream about having a family that loves them.

Please DO NOT write a note like this:
I hope you find a family!
If you're nice maybe you'll get a family.
I'm sorry you don't have a family.
We cannot give notes like this to our children. It hurts their feelings. Thank you! xo
