Denise Barrett Children Quotations

Too many youth groups are fighting to keep their doors open at a time when their services are needed more than ever. These grants are meant to help the healers and enable more children to stay engaged in activities - especially during the summer - that keep them learning and playing, which is the best medicine for recovery from this disaster.

Many of the Comfort Kits we hand out contain friendly notes from Seattle students that bring smiles and sometimes tears to the faces of Gulf youth. It means a lot to the children to know that others care about them as they continue to process what happened.
