Things of My Very Own
A 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization that helps children in crisis.
When you turn off a bedside light at night, darkness can be overwhelming. But if you keep looking, eventually, your eyes will adjust, and you will begin to see dim streams of light coming through the windows. This is similar to what many children and families we serve are going through. Fear of the unknown is prevalent, but like the sun, those who give illuminate the lives of those we serve by reflecting their light.
Over the past few days, we have had the privilege of working with many families who are new to the organization. One family was forced to vacate their home due to a significant infestation. Sadly, all their belongings had to be left behind. Other families had to leave unsafe relatives and transition to safety.
To give the children a fresh start, we provided them with clothing, undergarments, shoes, bedding, school supplies, personal hygiene items, and cleaning products, but we couldn't have done it without you. Your generosity allowed many children to start over in their places of safety. Thanks to your giving, a family of four children was able to return to the place they had missed the most: school.
Never discount your giving or your ability to change the world. YOU are exceptional!

Thank you for all the work you and your staff/volunteers do to help our communities.
Twenty-twenty-five has been like an unpredictable rollercoaster ride. There have been peaks and sudden plunges downward for many of the children and families we serve. But when we come together during times of uncertainty, we can create greatness in the lives of others.
Disposable chucks(bed pads) and toilet paper have been in the highest demand as many children without regular access to laundry facilities work to combat the tummy bug that has been going around our region. Feminine hygiene products, especially pads, are also among our most requested items.
Please help us to keep children in our region safe by making a donation on our website at thingsofmyveryown.org/donate/. Your gift of $29 per month can make a life-altering difference in the life of a child in crisis.
