Young Donors Make A Difference! Thanks to the help of young donors like Alexander Valeo, the children at the House of Hope in Salt Lake City have 23 new stuffed animals to play with. So many of our children at the House of Hope Women and Children's Program come to us with no belongings, and no special toys and blankets to call their own. And living in a new location with so many other moms and children can be overwhelming. So we make a real effort to provide each child with their own stuffed animal and blanket to hold on to and take with them when they move back into the community. Donations from individuals, like Alex, make this possible. Thanks to Alex for being a role model for others!
