Lend A Hand Corp. - Empowering People to Empower Themselves
Save OUR Children Initiative
 
Children are dying every day because of violence.
 
  • On a typical day, 6 or 7 youth are murdered.
 
  • Youth are 3 times more likely than adults to be victims of violence.
 
  • Homicide is the #1 cause of death for youth between the ages of 10 and 24.
 
  • Homicide has been the leading cause of death for African Americans between the ages of 15-24 for more than 10 years.  *information from the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence*
 
Save OUR Children…Save OUR Future…Stop the Violence !!!
 
Lend A Hand Corp. is seeking partnership with community service agencies, politicians, law enforcement agencies, private and public businesses, resident leaders and all caring citizens to be a part of a community task group to aid our efforts in alleviating crime and violence in targeted areas with the goal of providing an increase in resources and opportunities to decrease violence and crimes which is plaguing families, neighborhoods, schools and communities.
 
Young children and adolescents, in Palm Beach County, are increasingly dying by violence, as a residual effect of a lack of resources and opportunities. On November 17, 2012...Aareyun James, only19 years old, was brutally murdered by multiple gun shots as he exited a party…we can not bring Aareyun back to his many loved ones. Yet, we all can do a little something to make an effort to stop mothers from having to bury their children.
 
Any help you give is of value! We need donations of monetary value but even more so, we need your cooperation, your time, your input, your knowledge and your suggestions of what is most needed in your neighborhood. We need community leaders, service providers, politicians and residents to be a part of our Save OUR Children Initiative, designed to decrease violence and crimes by increasing support and opportunities in targeted neighborhoods.
Together, WE can build a better community.
