Sam Marrone's Fundraiser

Please help support the children of New Orleans!
Any amount helps our New Orleans young people!
At the Louisiana Center for Children's Rights, we go to the mat for our kids every day -- in the courtroom, the classroom, and in the community. Sometimes what stands between our young people and success are barriers seemingly small but insurmountable to a family that's struggling to get by.
Amire needs different color shoes so that he'll stop getting written up for violating the school's dress code. Lionel needs a state ID card so that he can apply for an after-school job. Mya needs diapers and other supplies for her infant daughter.
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 raising for LCCR's Small Favors Fund -- this is a reserve of money to use to help our children cover the small costs that can stand in the way of opportunity. These are the costs that fall outside of their individual defense case.
- For just $25, you can purchase books for one of our incarcerated kids. Our kids end up sitting in their cells most of the time. Books are the only way to pass the time!
- 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 their schoolwork or GED program
- And for $500, you can help a formerly incarcerated client furnish their new home after reentry.
Most recently, the fund helped Gerard, a teen who had been jailed for being homeless, get back on his feet.
Black and brown children are the ones most likely to be pulled into Louisiana's juvenile legal system, and face the biggest obstacles in exiting it. I've seen 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!
