Help Keep Kids Safe: Donate $10 for Life Jackets for School

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you on behalf of myself and a friend who told me about this issue and have decided to help improve the lives and safety of children in a village in Liberia, West Africa. I am reaching out today with an urgent request that we believe can make a real difference in the lives of young students. Our source in the village have identified 30-40 kids in need of a life jacket.

In many remote or rural areas, children must travel by canoe to get to school—an essential journey, but one that comes with its own risks. While these students are brave and resilient, the lack of proper safety equipment, such as life jackets, poses a significant threat to their well-being. The unpredictable waters they navigate can be dangerous, especially when the weather changes unexpectedly. Unfortunately, many of these children are still traveling without the essential protection they need.

This is where we need your help.

We are raising funds to purchase used life jackets and to ship the life jackets for children who rely on canoes to reach their schools. A contribution of just $10 will provide a child with a safe, properly fitting life jacket—helping to ensure they can continue their education with peace of mind and safety.

How Your Donation Will Help:

• $10 buys one used life jacket for a child

• $50 provides five life jackets

• $100 provides ten life jackets

Your support will allow us to purchase life jackets from individuals who no longer need them and meet safety standards while being affordable. Every donation, no matter the size, will directly contribute to a child’s safety and their ability to get to school safely each day.

I believe that education should be accessible to all children, regardless of the challenges they face. Your gift will help make that possible by protecting these students during their daily commute to school.

Thank you for considering this important cause. Your generosity will make a world of difference to a child who is striving to receive an education while staying safe. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
