Brandon Mendoza, a former Fresh Air child, speaks about his life-changing experiences with his host family at The Fresh Air Fund's Annual Friendly Town Conference in New York City.
we cannot wait to share our home by hosting a fresh air child- my kids are looking forward to it as are my wife and I- hopefully I will have a nice story to tell also by summers end---
My thanks to all of you that would open up your homes and your hearts to us. I can relate to Brandon. I'm a former Fresh Air Kid (I went to camp, and my brother went to friendly town).
As a child of a single-parent household, I can attest to the impact of the Fresh Air Fund. I'm now a college student, and though my brother has had significant struggles, he is getting his life back on track.
My gratitude goes out to all those who make such a remarkable program possible. Thank you.
"I'm busting with P R I D E!" Great job Brandon and Thank you Fresh Air Fund for providering more than 2 weeks beyond summer camp. Brandon is a true testimonial that the Fresh Air Fund did made a difference.
By doing something so little, we can do something so big. We need to tell and encourage other families to join us in helping these kids have a glimmer of hope and change each summer. It may be hard on our lives at times throughout those two weeks they are here, but imagine yourselves in their position the other fifty weeks of the year. Great job Brandon and great job everyone involved in the Fresh Air Fund.
