New Children's Christmas Book Helps Support Homeless Families This Holiday Season
With record homelessness in New York City, including over 23,000 children in city shelters, Stein IAS has unveiled a new children's book and animation, 'Somewhere to Believe In," with all proceeds going directly to Win.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With record homelessness in New York City, including over 23,000 children in city shelters, marketing agency Stein IAS today unveiled a new children's book and animation, 'Somewhere to Believe In," with all proceeds going directly to Win.
The book, written and illustrated by Stein IAS, aims to highlight the importance of empowering and supporting homeless children. Donations will help Win, the largest provider of family shelter in New York City, fund daycare, after school classes, field trips, and college preparation for homeless children.
In the story, Santa searches for a little girl who wrote him a letter, and along the way realizes there are many children who don't have homes. In the end, the reader is the hero, because by making a donation and reading the book, they have supported a charity that is helping homeless women and their children rebuild their lives and believe in a better future.
"With one in seven New York City school students experiencing homelessness before reaching fifth grade, this is a crisis that our city and state officials must address with the greatest urgency," said Shannon Snead, Vice President of Development for Win. "The holidays are an especially challenging time for our homeless families, - and children are often reminded of their lack of a permanent home when they send their letters to Santa. We hope this heart-warming story inspires everyone to give back this holiday season."
"We cannot stand idly by while roughly 63,000 people – mostly families – sleep in New York homeless shelters this Christmas," said Tom Stein, Chairman and Chief Client Officer of Stein IAS. "This moving story will help raise both awareness and funds for the lifechanging work being done by Win each day. I hope everyone will do what they can to brighten the holidays with a copy of 'Somewhere to Believe In.'"
In the last year alone, Win has served close to 10,000 people — including more than 5,000 children — and has helped more than 700 families transition out of shelter and into homes of their own.
While donations of any size are welcome, those who give $15 or more will receive a copy of the book. Visit somewheretobelievein.com to donate today and get a copy of the magical children's book, 'Somewhere to Believe In'.
