In today’s society people like to only see what they want to. Honestly, everyone is willing to help if they would just open their eyes. All of this is stoppable. I just want to help the ones who need it more than anyone. Charity is an amazing thing. All I want is for kids just like me to have the same opportunities that I do everyday. Every child deserves a sun rise.

When I was younger I didn’t even know what war was and I definitely didn’t know that families were torn apart. Honestly, I believed that stuff only happened in George Washington’s time. But now I see that our own country is a very ironic place. We say we are the “freedom country” when we are tearing the “freedom” from others. This is a crime and genocide even if we claim we didn’t do anything wrong. I believe that if the American people knew exactly what was going on they would do anything in their power to help. That is why my friends and I are doing this. That is why we are helping. Every single child deserves dreams, hopes, and a bright future. I’m going to make sure this happens for them.

I wanted to help an injured war child because I could never think of my little brother being hurt in such a way. These injures don’t just hurt the child physically but emotionally also. I believe that children should be able to have choices and be able to have dreams but when they are injured in such a way their dreams are gone. I help because I want to give those children their dreams back.
