Helping Foster Children and Families.
Doing The right thing..
Helping the Foster Children and Families of the SOS Children’s Village In Coconut Creek Florida. That is one of our functions here at The JRX Foundation. Helping Our American Citizens and our Children
I loaded up my Trusty 1972 Chevrolet Impala. To start Helping Foster Children and Families. I rounded up some of the clothes donations we receive. So today we were donating more baby clothes. You see the SOS Children’s Village is made up of 12 houses, and up to 50 kids maybe even more. From newborns to 18 year olds. And they are all foster children. So it’s our function at The JRX Foundation to make sure they get what they need.

In the past Helping Foster Children and Families we have given them Turkeys for Thanksgiving, and over 1,000 pounds in clothes. Now not only is it for the children but remember the foster parents are working people too. Whatever I can give to help out the parents for taking on the responsibilities that they have. Is a plus as well and we have no problem in doing so.

About SOS..
SOS Children’s Village Coconut Creek has been open since 1993. The village can provide a home for up to 75 children. Many of them have been given the opportunity to be reunited with their siblings and are able to grow up together in the same family. It consists of twelve family houses, the director’s house, a community centre, counselling centre, an administration building and a playground.
The children attend local state schools. After school, they take care of household chores, play outdoors with their friends and study. They also take part in a variety of activities such as scouts, gymnastics, karate, football and play in a band. The children also participate in a summer camp at the Village, which integrates fun and learning during their school holidays.
Children aged 13 years and older attend on-site “independent living skills” classes where they learn about career and educational choices, job application and interviewing, household management and other life skills.
At the same time, many of our children receive on-site mental health therapy to help resolve issues related to their traumatic pasts. Young people who no longer live in the village and now live independently in the community also continue to receive support.
