Children of the Americas partners with GoodGiving to Raise Funds

Years ago, one of the Children of the Americas board members was selected by a Lexington television channel to be interviewed by a newscaster about our program. The Let's Do Lunch program was a popular one here in Central KY, and the purpose is to give the viewer a "snack" version on a topic of interest. Our board member found the experience to be frustrating; Children of the Americas is a little organization with a big focus; it couldn't be explained in two minutes of airtime. 
Thanks to The Bluegrass Foundation, our program now has a complete and transparent profile available to potential donors. Everything a donor might want to know about Children of the Americas, from board member profiles to financial statements, is posted here: BGgives.org/cota

We are very pleased to announce our participation in the GoodGiving Guide Challenge starting today! Funds raised will go toward our annual surgical, dental and medical teams, held every January in rural Guatemala. The GoodGiving Guide Challenge is an annual online giving campaign throughout Fayette County that benefits local nonprofits, like COTA, and is hosted by the Blue Grass Community Foundation and Smiley Pete Publishing. We are honored to be among the 155 nonprofits that were carefully screened and then chosen to participate. 

Why is our work in Guatemala so important? 

So that Manuel can get his cleft lip repaired

 

So that she and her mother could receive life-changing medication

And she can have her cleft repaired and a prosthetic provided.

Please consider a donation to Children of the Americas during this campaign. These photos are of real patients, all of whom have a true need for humanitarian assistance that is only available through the donation of our medical care in rural Guatemala. What a great chance for you to create a direct and meaningful change in the life of the patients who await our medical team in January.
