WE ENSURE THAT ALL CHILDREN LIVE THEIR BEST LIFE.



OUR MISSION: 
                                                                                                                                                                       
We ensure that all children live their best life.  
We do this by encouraging dialogue between adults and our children in ways that will create a sense of understanding- believing that the more a child knows, the better a child will do.  Quite often, due to no fault of their own, children fall victim to societal errors finding themselves in situations that will make a profound impact on who they are to become.  Be it abuse (sexual, mental, or physical), an illness, or disability- we believe all children deserve proper care and proper protection. Be it funding programs, creating resources, or volunteer work, we dedicate ourselves to the children of the world and with the hopes that all kids have what they need to become their best self.
HOW WE ACHIEVE OUR GOAL:                                                                                                                                                 
The KathyRinaldiHope ® Foundation educates children and the public at large, about issues our children face in today's world. We do this by enlisting heroes in film, television, and within our own communities to create dialogue of the many issues our children face daily and in doing so, arm them with the proper resources such as knowledge and understanding.
COMMON SENSE RIGHT?  
Everyday, children are faced with situations such as sex, drugs, abuse, neglect...  situations we as adults often find too hard to bare and understandably ill-prepared for.  How then, may I ask, can we expect our children to survive such an experience?  
WE CAN'T.
I was attacked by my neighbor at age 12.  Look at any 12 year old!  Go ahead, look!  Even today, how could we ever suspect that a young child could ever fall victim?  It's too much for any of us to believe...  WE THEN CONFIRM..  "NOT My CHILD!!!"  But they are, and if not protected, we are as bad as the would be monsters!.   Abuse happens every day and the reason being is that the overall conception is that since WE DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE, IT SIMPLY DOESN'T EXIST.  
Unfortunately life doesn't come with an instruction manual.  For that I am sorry.  Fortunately for all of us, we pledge to be that manual and will cover as much as physically possible.  That being said, p[lease stay in touch and visit often as this will expand and unfold until all children may then live their best life.  We will show adults how to be vigilant in child safety and teach them to recognize a child at risk, we will share with children how to seek help, and we will demonstrate the importance of follow through.  We cannot end abuse.  We can however make said abuse situational and not life altering.
