Brandon, 8 and diagnosed with autism, is now connected in a social circle of school mates through our
EveryNonprofit Includes Program, where he benefits from a supportive caregiver who ensures his growth and
development and ability to play with others.
Caroline, 6, is beginning to smile again—every Monday night, she finds healing through the EveryNonprofit
Loves Program, where she and other kids who’ve lost a parent express and process their feelings, reaching grief
adjustment so they can lead productive lives again.
EveryNonprofit paves a path for a brighter, stronger future by building strong kids, strong families and strong
communities. But we can only do that through the generosity of people like you, who have been integral to our
mission.
Can I count on you to help again? As a member of our Chairman’s Roundtable, you have provided the
leadership and commitment necessary to help our community’s most at-risk children find a place to belong – to
renew their enthusiasm, build character, and overcome obstacles on their journey to become thoughtful, active,
and successful members of society, just like you!
Please, close your eyes for a minute, and imagine the transformation you can make in the life of a child simply
by giving again during this holiday season. I am certain of the joy you’ll continue to receive in return for the joy
you give. You’ll find an envelope for your convenience, but please feel free to call me if you want to learn more
about the children we’re helping through our programs.
Being new in my role, I’m eager to meet you personally to thank you for all the good things you have made
possible for Orange County kids and families.
With warmest wishes for a joy-filled holiday season,
Natalie Smarten
CEO/President
