Dear Supporters of our common enterprise,

13 homeless children die every day in the US, thousands are left behind on the beaches, under the bridges and some are lost in a world that is out of reach…drugs, alcohol and survival sex.

President Obama once said "This victory alone is not the change we seek —it is only the chance for us to make that change." So, we are trying to walk the walk and we need your help. This project is not an organizing for America project. However its cause and goal is 100% aligned with President Obama’s message throughout the campaign and his call for action to help our communities. 

Please consider joining with us in efforts to raise awareness within our community. We can bring change, one community at a time, one child at a time.

Over the last month, We.The.Children Project committee members have began a friendship with the StandUP for Kids non-profit charity and they have opened our eyes to the shocking statistics concerning homeless children in Los Angeles. There is an epidemic in the United States of Children who is living on the streets, going hungry and sleep-deprived, on a regular basis. We have the resources and the opportunity to improve this situation, within the country, but more importantly in our very own backyards.

StandUp for Kids is a non-profit organization that helps homeless and at-risk youths, ages 21 and younger, tackle some of their everyday obstacles and work towards a life off the streets. They have opened our eyes to the shocking statistics concerning homeless children in Los Angeles.

We.The.Children. Project members have taken time out of our own personal schedules to hit the streets in order to meet these homeless children and we have much to report from our experiences. Several of us took a trip to Venice Beach where we met children who were willing to tell us their stories and give us an idea of their daily lifestyle. Many of these kids are spending their nights sleeping on the beach. They approach us, not asking for money, but only asking for food or blankets to keep warm during these coming winter months. When we offered them any resources (food or clothes) the kids were always grateful and polite. They reported to us that they understand and believe that people look down on them as if they were criminals. But the reality is, their current living situations are often directly due to ‘family problems’, often times implying an abusive family situation, where these children felt their only option to end the abuse was choosing a life on the streets. These kids are hungry, cold, lonely and scared – but they are intelligent, respectful and talented. We need to get involved; we need to give them a helping hand.


As we approach the holiday and the awards ceremony  season in this coming New Year, it is imperative for the community to get involved and lend a hand to those who are less fortunate and in need.

There are 2 (two) ways you can help to raise awareness about homeless children through a partnership with We.The.Children. Project and our Grammy Kick-Off event:

1. If you are a song writer, you can enter to win $10000 in our songwriting competition.
