United States of America (Press Release) February 10, 2008 --
A simple concept, Help ten kids have a chance at life. We all wonder what we can do to help all world's needy children. You do not have to help all of them at once. Ten Kids, Inc. gives you the opportunity to directly help ten kids.
Ten Kids, Inc. was developed as a non-profit organization to empower children around the world with the basics of life; Safe Shelter, Food, Clean Water, Medical Care and Education. By providing kids with the basics of life Ten Kids, Inc. gives them an opportunity to help themselves, other individuals, their community and their country.
Oprah Winfrey, in an interview that aired 12/27/2007 with John Wood, a former Microsoft executive who quit his high-paying job to build libraries in the developing world said “People say to me why do children starve, why do bad things happen? Children starve because we let the, WE LET THEM. The rest of the world stands by and lets them starve. Then there are people like you (John) who say I’m not gonna let you go hungry.”
After much discussion and nearly three years of contemplating how they can help, Kim and Gip Gibson of Frankfort, KY developed Ten Kids, Inc. The name Ten Kids was chosen for its simplicity and with the mission of giving ten orphaned, abused or homeless children an alternative to the chaos many face on a daily basis.
Ten Kids first project will take place in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where they will be partnering with Planting Peace (www.PlantingPeace.org.), sponsoring a home for ten kids. Aaron Jackson, founder of Planting Peace, was recently nominated for a “CNN HEROS” award and featured on Larry King. Mr. Gibson will be going to Haiti in early March to finalize the arrangements for their first home. The cost of sponsoring this home is $1,000 per month or about $100 per child. The sponsorships will provide; A safe and loving home, Three meals a day, Clean drinking water, Clothing, Education (including uniforms), Access to medical care and a Full-time house parent. “Think about this, for just $12,000 a year we can positively change the lives of TEN children,” Mr. Gibson said.
When Ten Kids started raising funds on January 18 of this year they were looking for 100 people to give just $10 a month, the cost of going to the movies (matinee only) or a trip to Starbucks. As of February 9th they had already raised $2,890 and only need 76 more people at $10 a month to sponsor their first home. If individuals or organizations do not want commit to a monthly donation, Ten Kids will happily accept any size contribution. 100% of your donation will go directly to sponsoring the home, administrative cost are currently being covered by the Gibson’s. If you want to help or would like additional information visit their website at www.TenKids.org or call Gip Gibson at (859) 229-4536 or (502) 352-1443.
What does the future hold for Ten Kids? Mr. Gibson said, “The idea is that we create something that is able to be replicated. After we get the first home sponsored we will look for another home either in Haiti or even possibly in the US.”
