If you know me, you know I absolutely adore the children we represent at the Louisiana Center for Children's Rights. This year has been intense to say the least. From challenging kids being moved to Angola to harrowing reports in the New York Times about the juvenile facility for girls in Louisiana to fighting children being transferred to adult court, it is a constant battle everyday. Our motto is simple, treat kids like kids.

Your donation helps support our "Small Favors Fund." We provide support to our children to help eliminate barriers that stand in the way of their success. Our fund for clients has been used to purchase birth certificates and uniforms for clients to be enrolled in attend school. We have helped clients purchase clothes for job interviews. We buy books for our children who are incarcerated to help occupy their minds while detained in facilities across the state.

No child should sink deeper into the legal system because they cannot afford the small costs that matter so much to their success.

That's why this holiday season, I'm rallying to raise money for LCCR's Small Favors Fund -- a reserve used to help our children and juvenile lifers cover the small costs that stand in the way of opportunity.

  • For just $25, you can purchase books for one of our incarcerated kids
  • For $50, you can provide a school uniform to one of our children in need
  • For $100, you can rent a moving van for one of our families experiencing eviction
  • For $250, you can purchase a Chromebook to aid one of our kids with his schooling
  • And for $500, you can help a former juvenile lifer furnish his new home after re-entry.

Black and brown children are the ones most likely to be pulled into the juvenile legal system, and face the biggest obstacles in exiting it. I know how even a modest donation can have a HUGE impact on our kids' lives. I hope you will join me with your support.

Together, let's rally to remove obstacles to our kids' success... and change lives for the better. MAKE YOUR GIFT TODAY!
