Letter From Roger Presgrove

HOPE, it’s a powerful word that embodies one of the driving forces behind living life. We rise out of bed with the hope that today will be better than yesterday. We work hard at our jobs with the hope that we will make a difference in the world. Hope denotes a wish, a need, a look to the future. Hope focuses on expectations, dreams, and goals. It brings joy to our present-day lives and motivates us to make every day count. What happens when there is an absence of hope—when dreams are shattered and the future seems bleak? For many of the poor and homeless, there is a loss in the will to live or try. With hopelessness comes pain and despair.

At Help the Children (HTC) we do our utmost to help fill the hopelessness by providing food, clothing and personal care items to needy individuals, needy children and their families, senior citizens on fixed incomes, as well as orphanages in third world countries. We instill in them that tomorrow can be a better day if you are willing to try. We believe that you might not do great things, but you can do small things in a great way. We at Help the Children are so thankful for the support we receive from individuals, churches, organizations, corporations and foundations that support our programs and outreaches.

Our hands on programs are able to assist more than 1,500,000 children and their families around the world with food, clothing, personal care items and other necessities to help improve their quality of life. We take great pride in our projects as we continue to find the best solutions for helping, and the most effective ways of distribution. Thus, we believe our distribution centered program ensures the most effective, reliable, and credible follow up reports. It is our goal to maximize our effectiveness here in the United States and around the world to share God’s love and compassion with children in need.

We are extremely delighted in the fact that our overhead cost is 1%, that means that 99 cents of every dollar goes toward our programs. Help the Children is one of America’s most cost-effective charities. Thank you for your faithful partnership as together we help meet the needs of the impoverished around the world.

May God bless you!

Roger Presgrove
President Help the Children
