Support Lincoln Families: Rent & Food Assistance
In today's challenging economic climate, it is more important than ever to support low-income families facing food insecurity and struggling to make ends meet due to soaring inflation and rising utility costs. You can help! Donating funds to assist these families not only provides immediate relief but also has long-lasting positive impacts on their well-being and the community as a whole.

Lincoln Families’ Helping Open Pathways to Education (HOPE) program supports youth and families to address barriers to academic achievement, preparing classrooms and schools to be welcoming, and helping students be successful in their neighborhood schools. Our staff provide intensive integrated behavioral supports for students, families, and schools.

With your help, we can make sure that these families have a safe and stable place to call home and food on their tables. Your donation will go directly to providing rental assistance and groceries to families who need it most.

Don't Let Lice Impact Healthy Child Development
Lincoln Families’ NEST Program provides early childhood mental health support to Oakland public preschools. One preschool has been facing a persistent lice problem, creating significant challenges for the children and their families. Many families in this community do not have the financial or physical resources to effectively treat lice in their households, making it difficult to break the cycle.

We’re raising funds to create a lice treatment fund for these families. Your donations will allow us to purchase high-quality, expert-recommended lice treatment supplies and create a scholarship fund to help families access professional lice treatment centers. By providing these resources, we can help families tackle this issue with dignity, protect children’s health and well-being, and reduce disruptions to their education.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact. Together, we can support these families and help create healthier, lice-free classrooms. Thank you for your compassion and generosity!

Donate for Lice-Free Classrooms in Oakland
As part of my work with Lincoln Families’ NEST Program, I provide early childhood mental health support to Oakland public preschools. One of the preschools I work with has been facing a persistent lice problem that has created significant challenges for the children and their families. Many families in this community are low-income and do not have the financial or physical resources to effectively treat lice in their households, making it difficult to break the cycle.

We’re raising funds to create a lice treatment fund for these families. Your donations will allow us to purchase high-quality, expert-recommended lice treatment supplies and create a scholarship fund to help families access professional lice treatment centers.

Support Lincoln's Fight Against Child Poverty
Hello all !!

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Lincoln, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about Lincoln: Lincoln disrupts the cycle of poverty and trauma, empowering children, youth and families to build strong futures.

This go fund me has been created to help spread awareness, advocate, and raise money for Child poverty Post 2021. Child poverty is the state of children living in poverty and applies to children from poor families and orphans being raised with limited or no state resources. UNICEF estimates that there is approximately 360 million children who live in extreme poverty. On this page we will post awareness about child poverty as well as post ways that YOU can help child poverty become less.

The issues that Child poverty post 2021 are facing are human right violations, for instance because the poor are forced to work in environments that are unsafe and unhealthy due to their unequal opportunities. More human rights that are being infringed upon are lack of access to education, health services, safe drinking water and basic sanitation.

The issues of child poverty post 2021 are important to take up because no child deserves to have to fend for life themselves and they should not have to fight for what is already a right to them. This is an important issue because the rate of child poverty is only going up and it will never go down until people notice how big of an issue this is and how they should do whatever they can to support this issue.

Support HOPE Summer Camp for Low-Income Kids!
Join us in supporting the transformational experience of Lincoln summer camp for children and youth impacted by poverty in Alameda County! We're raising money to send kids to camp, and any donation will help make an impact.

Lincoln's HOPE Summer Camp is a five-week enrichment program engaging youth in skill mastery, health and fitness, and exposure to nature in a camp setting. Since 2003, Lincoln has delivered summer camp programming to low-income youth in Alameda County, the vast majority of whom have little or no access to such opportunities.

The students Lincoln serve are impacted by trauma and other significant stressors that impact school performance as well as other life domains, such as home and community. During the school year, Lincoln's staff work in the Oakland Unified School District with children who lack access to summer enrichment opportunities or are excluded due to behavioral issues. These are the children for whom five weeks of academic enrichment, health and fitness, and exposure to nature in a camp setting benefit the most. Because county and district contracts do not fund camp programming, support from you as a community leader is essential in providing this critical summer opportunity for low-income children and youth. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to kids in our community.
