Wheel Of Fortune Supports Disadvantaged Single Parents With Children

Everybody likes Wheel Of Fortune. There is Hollywood’s glitz and glamour. There are two beloved TV personalities: Pat Sajak and Vanna White. (Ladies: which one of us isn’t interested what’s Vanna wearing tonight?…) The game is intellectually stimulating. The contestants’ emotions allow us to feel as if we were a part of the excitement. Wheel Of Fortune is a blast! Over the years, it has become also a television staple and an integral part of our lives.

As most of you know Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation is preparing for our annual fundraiser and Silent Auction. The goal is to raise money for the many poor, unemployed and underemployed single parents with children.
Before the event, we sent MANY donation requests to major business organizations. (As anyone who’s ever solicited donations will tell you, only a small percentage of donation requests are actually replied to and even less are dignified by a donation.) In spite of the tough economy, a few donors came through in support of disadvantaged single parents with children. Many were gracious; some were generous. THE ONE that blew us away with its heart and generosity this year is Wheel of Fortune! Who knew that behind a television game show there’s so much heart!

We were hoping for an autographed picture or two, but received so much more! The stars of Wheel of Fortune are not wax figures on a pedestal expecting worship; the whole team of Wheel of Fortune consists of real people with generous hearts! Thank you Wheel of Fortune; thank you Vanna White; thank you Pat Sajak! Thanks to YOU many struggling single parents and underprivileged children will be warm, safe and fed this Holiday Season….

Fundraiser For Struggling Single Parent Families

On Thursday, December 5th 2013, Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation will hold its annual Fundraiser for Struggling Single Parent Families.

The focus of many fundraisers is to flatter donors with plush surroundings and a gourmet dinner. The focus of EHHF’s 2013 fundraiser is to raise funds for disadvantaged single parent families and underprivileged children in desperate need. In the context of a genuine human suffering (the looming prospect of homelessness or hunger), plush surroundings and gourmet food seem like an inappropriate indulgence. That’s why it’s been decided that this year’s Fundraiser for Struggling Single Parent Families will take a more modest form.

There will be a pizza party in Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation’s Headquarters! The event will be small and inexpensive, but its focus will remain where it belongs: on generating funds for the most vulnerable among us.

Of course, there will be fun and a wonderful silent auction as well!
EHHF expresses its appreciation to the companies who generously support our fundraising efforts:

Knott’s Berry Farm
Sherwin Williams
Green Mountain Coffee® (Keurig)
The Cheesecake Factory
P.F. Changs
Ben and Jerry

Many of the situations Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation encounters are dramatic: there’re struggling single mothers whose babies have no diapers; unemployed single mothers who have no way of feeding their children; poor single parents who share one bed with 3 children. There are some cases that are even more heartbreaking. There are single mothers “sentenced” to a life of poverty because their disabled child requires 24/7 care. There are children who’re crime victims; single mothers dealing with a trauma; single parent families facing homelessness…
These are real people, real stories of struggling single parents in a desperate need. Let’s spare one evening this Christmas Season to elevate some of the suffering of disadvantaged single parent families and underprivileged children.

If you are a successful single parent; if you used to be a single parent; if you were raised by a single parent and finally, if you don’t have a personal experience with single parenthood but care enough to support the cause, you’re welcome to participate in Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation’s 2013 Fundraiser for Struggling Single Parent Families.

A poor, single Mother and Her Special Baby Boy are at the heart of Christmas, what better way to honor the Season than by raising funds for other poor single mothers and their innocent children?…
