Veronica's Story
A Pediatric AIDS &
Orphans Foundation

 
A 501c(3) recognized organization under the articles of the IRS. Creating a tradition of trust with a completely volunteer staff.

 
The Facts:

Every 14 seconds a child is orphaned because of war, natural disaster, poverty, or disease. Right now, there are 15 million orphans due to AIDS alone. The children often survive alone, without the nurturing they need. Many have suffered the trauma of seeing one or both parents die as a result of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. It's estimated that less than 1% of the world's orphans will be adopted into loving homes.
Veronica's Story is helping to care for these children and empower girls and women to help bring an end to the orphan crisis. But, it is a monumental task. You can help ease the pain of orphans and AIDS-affected children by giving a gift to Veronica's Story.
Your gift will help provide:

- Nutrition and Clean Water
- Medicine and Health Care
- Education
- and Shelter
