What they do

HELPING KIDS SHINETHE MJYA FOUNDATION HELPS CHILDREN FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES SHINE. WE BOUGHT THEM TOYS and OTHER PRIZES for THE HOLIDAYS and GAVE GIFT CARDS for THEM to PURCHASE THEIR OWN PRESENTS. THE FOUNDATION ALSO GAVE FOOD CARDS FROM THE LOCAL SUPERMARKETS OUT to MANY of THE CHILDREN to ENABLE THEM to BUY THEIR OWN SNACKS, and EVEN ARRANGED BIRTHDAY PARTIES for MANY of THE CHILDREN. WHEN THE HOLIDAYS APPROACHED, WE PARTNERED WITH THE LEON MAYER FUND to ENSURE THAT MANY CHILDREN WOULD RECEIVE PRESENTS and TREATS. THE KIDS THAT WERE DOING WELL IN SCHOOL WERE FREQUENTLY TREATED to MEALS WITH THEIR FRIENDS, and THE WEAKER STUDENTS RECEIVED TUTORING HELP. WHEN THE SUMMER ARRIVED, WE HELPED MANY CHILDREN GO to SLEEPAWAY CAMPS and DAY CAMPS and HELPED OUT WITH THE EXPENSES of CLOTHING and SPORTS EQUIPMENT. ALL IN ALL, WE HELPED OVER 350 CHILDREN IN THE FIVE TOWNS and FAR ROCKAWAY and GAVE THEM THEIR CHANCE to SHINE.
