Kings Of Support is a proud funding source for undeserved urban children.
One of the worst ways poverty affects children and their families is through disproportionate contact with the criminal justice system. Children's love and need for their parents doesn’t end based of a judge’s ruling and it does not become less necessary to their well being after a sentencing hearing. Kings of Support makes sure children keep the parental bond so essential to positive growth by keeping them physically connected with parents who may be serving sentences far from home.
A school isn’t very useful to a child without, books, paper and pencils, shoes, uniforms, book bags or computers. We understand the emotional toll that not having enough takes on a child. Being bullied, feeling ashamed because you don't have what you need to succeed makes a difference in the trajectory of a child’s life. Making sure our city's children have what they need to have the best chance at a successful future is central to our mission at Kings Of Support.
Whether by design or by accident, state based welfare often humiliates the recipients. Anyone who has ever had to go to the state and city welfare offices and borne the attitudes of the workers there can attest to that fact. Community based child welfare aims to restore the idea that people can be good to each other without dividing the giver and the receiver into different classes of people. Kings of Support makes sure people can get help without having to feel less than. We believe in people and their basic goodness as sufficient qualifications for decent treatment.
