Who's Smiling Now
Dear
Friends,
A
child sleeping on a cold floor with nothing but a sheet to keep
him warm.
A newborn
baby lying on a dirty mattress because she has no crib.
Mothers in
despair because they are unable to provide a basic necessity for
their children.
These are
the faces of Secret Smiles.
Our
mission is simple. Secret Smiles of Dayton provides beds, cribs
and bedding to those in our community who are without. We have
located hundreds of children who now, thanks to your generosity,
have new beds as well as sheets, blankets, pillows and comforters
to keep them warm at night in a special place all their own.
This past
year we have seen tremendous growth due to continued community
support and witnessed first hand that everyone is capable of
making a difference in many extraordinary ways. Friends and
strangers have eagerly helped to make deliveries to our needy
families; local businesses and organizations have supported us
with donations and in-kind gifts for our fundraisers, children
have forgone birthday gifts and have asked, instead, that
donations be made to Secret Smiles of Dayton. Others have
supported us with monetary donations and/or by attending one of
our many fundraisers.
With each
donation we receive, virtually 100% goes directly out into our
community in support of Secret Smiles' mission. We have created a
charitable organization that is not burdened with administrative
costs such as salaries or other compensation because we are
staffed only with concerned volunteers. The result, more smiles
for our recipients!
Thank you
for your continued support of Secret Smiles of Dayton. Our passion
and your generosity will transform lives!
