TulsiToday, Children’s HopeChest launches Change Their Story 2011 and I am inviting you to join our team of “HopeRaisers” from across the country.

A HopeRaiser is a person who decides that instead of asking for Christmas presents, they will ask their friends and family to donate on their behalf to help orphans through HopeChest. 

You get your own personal fundraising Web page, and access to the HopeRaiser “Participant Center” where you can email all of your friends and family and ask them for their support.

Statistics say there are over 163 million orphans and vulnerable children in the world today. 1 billion people are malnourished and hungry. Two million children are trapped in sex slavery. 70 million kids can’t attend school.

As a HopeRaiser, you can change those stories!

Instead of asking for presents this Christmas, you’ll raise money to help orphans and vulnerable children in Africa, India, and Russia. As a result, you will…

Provide nutritious food and safe, clean water to hungry children…
Protect children who are vulnerable to human trafficking and forced prostitution…
Place a child in school, fully equipped with supplies and a uniform…
Put a Christian mentor in their life to share God’s love…

Last year, 72 HopeRaisers raised over $75,000 to change the story for children facing extreme poverty.

We’re back this year, and shooting to raise $100,000 through our team of HopeRaisers. Will you join us? Just click the “Register” button to get started today.

All you have to do is share a little piece of your Christmas with a child who will literally get nothing this year. You can be part of the team that’s going to change the story for thousands of kids. Join today!

Thank you for sharing your Christmas with orphans who desperately need our help.
