You are an Angel!

Hola Dear Friend,

On behalf of the entire Centro Infantil de los Angeles team, I want to thank you for the incredible support you have given this organization! You are making a difference for over 120 low-income children. You are helping them recieve a positive early head-start to education and successfully preparing them for their future. You are an Angel!

Thanks to supporters like you, our classrooms have basic school supplies like pencils, books and playdough. We can afford to keep the electricity and internet on and we are able to pay 5 of our 6 Preschool teachers and 2 daycare attendants for the 2024-2025 school year. Last year we had two volunteer teachers and our goal was to pay at least one of them for this year. Thank you for helping us make this happen! Our dedicated teachers are important to the success of our program!

As we enter this new school year, we want to thank you for all of your support. 100% of our income is from donations and grants. You are so valuable to us!

Together, we have provided support to over 100 families for an entire year, provided extra help to students and their families with Downs Syndrome, Autism, grief, trauma and one student battling cancer. I am so proud of the way this organization shows empathy and compassion to others. Much of the appreciation goes to our Director Patricia Palacios Cortez. She sees the needs and steps in to help.

Our Kindergarteners have graduated and moved on. Gratefully, we have 40 new children in preschool and 7 new babies in the daycare. Costs of maintaining our facilities and operating the daycare and school keep increasing. Prices go up and the value of the peso goes down. Your help is still needed to continue operations. There are more children who need our help and one volunteer teacher who should receive pay.

More help is needed to fully fund our 2024-2025 school year. For just $1,000 you could ensure that one daycare child receives a year of free daycare services. For $50 a month your recurring contribution can sponsor a preschool child for one year.

Thank you for your support!

Tammy Kjos
