It is nice to know that the community cares, and feels invested in the children who will soon be productive adults in our/their communities as well. It truly takes a village and sadly, most of these kids do not have the immediate family foundation that many take for granted. It really does take a village/community to help these kids. One person believing in a child, giving them positive feedback and forming a relationship, can literally change their life. I am thankful for everyone in this program. We need more of this.

One on one time with kids means the world to them. We, as a school, are aware of their needs every morning as the kids get off the bus. They come and they know that they are safe and loved. The school needs will be met by the school staff, but to have an adult come just for them is better than any birthday/Christmas gift a child at KCE could get. The Elevators are very beneficial for our students.
