United States 4 Kids
UnitedStates4Kids is an organization committed to raising awareness about the national crisis of homelessness that plagues an estimated 750,000 American children between the ages of 0-6 each year.
Some Startling Facts:
1 in 50 American children experience homelessness each year – and that number is growing at an alarming rate. Here is some additional, disturbing information about this neglected segment of our country’s population:
- They go hungry at twice the rate of other children;
- They are 4X more likely to get sick;
- They are 2X as likely to have learning disabilities;
- 36% of homeless children will repeat a grade
Bottom line - United States 4 Kids believe that we are at a turning point, and with your help, they can establish a clearer image of and a stronger voice for homeless children.
