P.S. I Love You Foundation is doing just this! We are finding creative ways to bring less fortunate children together with other community members to share time, support, laughter and love. It all started when Patricia met an elderly lady, named Millie, at her workplace in the medical equipment industry. Patricia became very fond of Millie and was saddened to hear that Millie had to quit her job to care for her five great grand children: a two, four, five, ten and twelve year old. The children’s mother and grandmother had both been incarcerated for an indefinite period of time. If Millie did not resign from her job, all the children would have been separated from each other and put in foster care across the country! Patricia called Millie to see how she could help her. Patricia started helping Millie by taking the children on weekends so Millie could rest, contributing financially for their apartment rent and providing food and clothing for the children. Patricia bonded with 5 beautiful children and started asking her friends if they could also help this family. The commitment to helping children and families grew from here! There was a huge outpouring of togetherness and community awareness for this family that soon became the inspiration to spread the spirit of giving to others in need. P.S. I Love You Foundation’s mission was established from here.
For P.S. I Love You Foundation, defining “at-risk” means children living in or near poverty level within a one parent or no parent family unit. Most of the children we reach are living in shelters, going to Title I schools systems and live in the lowest income areas such as Hawthorne, Lawndale, South Central, LA Central, Longbeach and San Pedro. At-risk definitions are very different for most organizations. When we look for children to fulfill our programs, we partner with professional organizations that already have the databases, the psychologists and the professionals in place to evaluate the need of poverty and one parent family. They then add their “at-risk” meaning on top of ours which includes but is not limited to: physical abuse, sexual abuse, foster care, neglect, drugs, gangs and even mentally handicapped. Some organizations that we receive at-risk children from are: Beach Cities Health District’s Children’s Program, 1736 House, Good Sheppard Shelter, Richstone Family Center, Kids In Solitude, LA Dependency Court and Alliance for Children’s Rights. I hope that this clarifies some information for you. Please call if you have any other questions, they are surly welcomed.
What separates us from other charitable organizations is that we take personal action through the programs we create and the programs we support. We research the needs of local children then form a plan or program to assist the need. Our actions make difference to one child, one family, through one need at a time by personal contact, love, guidance and the interaction with our partners' programs. We sincerely hope that you will join our mission for giving love, guidance, and supportive programs to children and families in need.
