Jasmine Thomas Assists for Kids

Growing up, I witnessed my father and mother sacrifice everything to give their children a better environment than they were raised in. They made a difficult financial decision to move to the suburbs of the DC metropolitan area to raise me and my brother. That move removed us from a community surrounded by drug abuse and violence and allowed us to attend better schools.

I’m forever grateful that my parents understood that a safe environment and access to better resources was imperative for our future success. Unfortunately, many poor, minority and/or disabled children are not as fortunate. That is why this campaign is so important to me. I’m passionate about using my platform to change the lives of children who are challenged daily by the toughest adversity.

I’m happy that just by playing the game I love I will simultaneously raise awareness and money for the Children’s Defense Fund. The CDF is an organization that focuses on protecting children from violence and neglect, lifting them from poverty and ensuring they have access to proper health care and education. I support their mission and every dollar you give will help them continue making life better and safer for all children.
