My brother and sister-in-law are in an organization called BACA, Bikers Against Child Abuse. I am wanting to help them by gathering cards for them to take and send to kids that their chapter adopts. Here is a little more about them:
Their Mission Statement: "Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA) exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children. We exist as a body of Bikers to empower children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live. We stand ready to lend support to our wounded friends by involving them with an established, united organization. We work in conjunction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. We desire to send a clear message to all involved with the abused child that this child is a part of our organization, and that we are prepared to lend our physical and emotional support to them by affiliation, and our physical presence. We stand at the ready to shield these children from further abuse. We do not condone the use of violence or physical force in any manner, however, if circumstances arise such that we are the only obstacle preventing a child from further abuse, we stand ready to be that obstacle."

Will you help me in making a child smile and feel loved while they are going through difficult times? No child deserves any abuse. It is my goal to make them feel that they are wanted through cards. Cards are small. They can fit them in the palm of their hand, their pockets, books, the places are endless.
If you would like to join me, please email me at kansasscrapper@cox.net. The date to have the cards to me is June 1st. Get your local crops together to make cards. Send as many as you like. Topics for cards are: Hello, Happy Birthday, We Care, Any Holiday, etc. Use the standard size for each card. 3x3 are good as well. Cards will be sent throughout the year.
Here is a graphic you can put on your banner and link back to this site. This is the link to put with the graphic: http://kansasscrapper.blogspot.com/2009/03/cards-for-kids.html Please spread the word to let others know about this. The more cards we can get for kids the better.
I look forward to hearing for you!
peace!
