  1. Feed the Children

    Remember the times when you were younger and picking what you wanted for breakfast was the hardest thing to choose? Or waking up in the morning super excited for your moms homemade pancakes? Imagine waking up wondering if you even get to eat breakfast, or when your next meal will be.

    Soothe the child

    Remember when your parents coaxed you when you were crying or unhappy when you were a kid? Or how elated you look every time your parents come home and bring you toys? We provide services centered on the child's experience, and the purpose is to make children happy and company. When your child is unhappy and you don't have time, we'll make up for the lack of love by being part of the family.

    Do you miss the fragrant waffles your mom prepares for you in the morning? Not all children in real life have such a treat, many unfortunate orphans do not have this opportunity to enjoy it. A donation of ten dollars can be exchanged for a year's worth of breakfast and happy smiles for the children.

  6. Do you remember in your childhood, how do you feel if your parents were not with you? You might feel lonely, fear, or depressed. However, there are lots of children living without parents for their whole life. Would you like to become one of their families and make them feel warm and love?

  7. Open Books
    Can you believe that people are still struggling to learn how to read and write in a society where education is idolized? According to think impact, on average, 21% of adults in the US are still illiterate in 2022. Those who are undereducated are shamed by society, yet imagine if one doesn't even know how to read. Let us make a difference for those who never had the opportunity to learn by simply buying a book from one of Open Books’ nonprofit retail locations.

  8. Internet Watch Foundation
    Every child deserves a healthy and happy childhood. However, there is a lot of child sexual abuse in today's society. How can we just watch this happen while doing nothing? Our organization uses technology to identify and remove images about child sexual abuse on the Internet. We hope that you or your company will consider making a donation or becoming a partner to make a small contribution to children's health.

  11. The charity which I want to write a persuasive letter for is the De’VIA Art Foundation. The De’VIA Art Foundation is focused on supporting young and upcoming deaf artists in the deaf community. De’VIA Art is a form of art which represents deaf culture and has meaning and symbolism behind the expressions portrayed in it. I will be asking for donations to raise funds to provide students with scholarships so that they can receive financial aid and support.

  13. Connections for Abused Women and their Children
    Domestic abuse is a problem. It is prevalent in the world, in the United States, in Illinois, and on school campuses ¬ — even at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Domestic abuse is so prevalent that 1 in 7 men have been victims of severe physical violence throughout a lifetime and 25%, that is 1 in 4, women have been victims. Unfortunately, not even children are spared. 1 in 15 children are exposed to intimate partner violence each year. Connections for Abused Women and their Children provides services and shelter for women and child victims of domestic abuse.
