INSPIRING
OTHERS Our goal is
to inspire others, particularly kids, to support others in need.
HOW IT STARTED
After viewing an Oprah Winfrey
special about
kids caring for kids in the winter of 2004, Kendall
Ciesemier decided that she had to do something to help the 12 million
AIDS orphans of Africa. She began by adopting a child through World
Vision with her own annual contribution of $360. In June 2004, as
Kendall faced an upcoming liver transplant, she organized her effort,
"Kids Caring 4 Kids", asking friends and family to send donations
instead of flowers or gifts. Kendall initially adopted a project
through World Vision and began accepting on-line DONATIONS.
The funds we raise will go to support other charitable organizations
and individuals which help those who have been impacted by the AIDS
pandemic. The recipients will have an emphasis in Africa (where AIDS
has hit the hardest) and to those who strive to help children.
FUNDRAISING UPDATE
Since
Kendall's fundraising effort began in 2004, we
have received nearly $680,000 in donations fast
approaching her new fundraising goal of $1
million which Kendall recently revealed on The
Oprah Winfrey
Show!
