The YES YOU CAN Foundation
August 25, 2009
Many school aged children are told by everyone around them that they will fail in life. That they will never make anything of themselves. They hear phrases like: "You'll never amount to anything". "They don't let people like us get ahead" "You're too stupid to get a job". Basically, they're told "No You Can't." Since these children have NO ONE to give them any hope or encouragement, their lives are basically over before they begin. These children grow up to be criminals or a drain on the people that work hard and make something of themselves. It doesn't have to be that way.
With Yes You Can, we meet with children and show them examples of people who had nothing and yet through hard work, planning and never giving up, have successful lives. We teach them that THEY can determine their futures.
We don't have the illusion that we can help every child. But we can provide this message and the tools to develop their lives for the children who are starving for a message of hope.
We can make a difference in thousands of children's lives. These children need our help and want our help.
Thank you for anything you can do to help us reach these children to give them a chance in life.
