Provide a Lifeline for Families in Need
This holiday season, for just $25, you can give the gift of hope by sponsoring a family raising children with food allergies.
Sponsorships provide the many benefits of Family Membership at no cost to families that cannot afford a KFA membership. Sponsored families have access to recipes from KFA's online collection of 1,000 recipes, and reassurance and advice from other parents through our warm and supportive online community.
Thanks to your support, we have provided 200 sponsored memberships in 2010!
We are here as a lifeline when parents feel alone dealing with food allergies—and for just $25 you can give a family a lifeline for a year.
"We were sponsored for our membership last year when we suffered our first major income loss and it has been a lifesaver for us. KFA has been an invaluable resource for me as a parent dealing with serious food allergies and the complications that arise as a result," sponsored mother Jennifer writes.
If KFA has helped you in the past or if you simply understand how important day-to-day support like ours is to families, please consider making a $25 donation and give the gift of hope to a struggling family living with food allergies.
Jennifer continues, "We would be so grateful for an extension of our sponsored membership and look forward to the day when we can not only pay for the reasonable membership fee, but will be able to donate additional money to sponsor someone else."
This is our only fundraising drive of the year. Please consider making a donation today.
Gratefully,
Lynda Mitchell
President, Kids With Food Allergies
