Nothing is more critical to a child’s future than the care they receive at the beginning of their life. That’s why, since 1998, OneSky has been providing life-changing programs to young children living in some of the most challenging circumstances. We help children like Xiang Xiang who struggled in a Chinese welfare institution and is now flourishing under the loving care of her OneSky-trained foster parents. Her story, and many others like hers, reinforce our commitment to providing vulnerable children the loving, responsive care and early education they need to reach their full potential, no matter the challenges along the way.

And this year, we have been tested.

In February, we received a letter from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) terminating its grant contract with us. The multi-year grant was awarded for a project aimed at helping 100,000 children in Vietnam.

The U.S. government stopped its funding to OneSky overnight.

We were not alone. Thousands of international nonprofits lost their funding, affecting millions of people they were serving. Many organizations working to help vulnerable communities will not survive this unprecedented change in the global philanthropy landscape, and my heart breaks for the loss of progress for all humanity that this will cause.

OneSky has always been fortunate to have long-term supporters who have stood by us. And I fear the next twelve months will be among the toughest we’ve ever experienced. Your generosity this year has already made a significant impact, but we still need your help. Would you consider making an additional gift to OneSky this holiday season?

OneSky is determined to be there for the children, families and communities we serve. Xiang Xiang is just one of thousands of young children receiving essential, round-the-clock care from OneSky-trained caregivers — quality early care and learning that are shaping brighter futures for them.

There are so many children like her that we have yet to reach, and with your help, we can, and we will.

Thank you for believing that, together, we can make this world a better place where every child has the chance to thrive.

With gratitude,

Morgan Lance
CEO, OneSky for all children

P.S. Don’t wait — from now until Thursday, November 13, your gift will be tripled! After that, it will still be doubled through year’s end thanks to a generous donor match.
