Meet “Our” Kids

Meet “Our” Kids

Each one of them has a special place in our hearts here at Passion 4 K.I.D.S. and each one has very great needs.

Why help these specific children? Each child comes to us at a time in their life when they are suffering, through no fault of their own, on levels no child should ever have to endure. We are their last resort – with no insurance or government programs to help them in their greatest time of need.

  • Paralyzed by a drunk driver.
  • Diagnosed with a life-threatening illness that has plunged their family into emotional and financial despair.
  • Abandoned, abused, neglected.
  • The agony of watching their beloved parent dying from cancer.

While we sadly can’t help every child in need, we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of the children we are honored to serve.
