Here in the United States, there are more than 1 million children who are either on the streets or in foster care. Like the orphans of Haiti, they too need to be rescued. All children deserve infrastructures in place to prevent them from being abused, neglected, and exploited.All our children:
Need access to education. Need access to health care. Need stable families who have access to family planning services. Need parents and caregivers who are employed and able to provide their children with security and a loving home.
