dear Friends,

thanks to your generosity, ForKids was able to ensure more than 600 children

in hampton roads had a safe place to stay, tutoring to catch up in school, hot

nutritious meals, and other wraparound services necessary to break the cycle

of homelessness and poverty this year. Yet clearly more work is needed. more

than 10,000 households called the ForKids housing crisis hotline over the last

12 months in need of support.

as ForKids celebrates our 25th anniversary this year, it has become apparent

that we need to address the shrinking supply of affordable housing and the

educational challenges facing homeless children. despite ForKids’ exponential

growth, we have been losing ground in our fight against poverty and

homelessness. the poverty rate rose from 11.7% to 13.1% in hampton roads

and requests for shelter continue to climb. With this in mind, the ForKids

25th anniversary commission was formed, comprised of key community

leaders to address the link between affordable housing and the educational

advancement of children in hampton roads. While the challenges are

daunting, we are excited about the potential for a transformational change in

how the region addresses the root causes of poverty and homelessness.

We look forward to keeping you posted on our 25th anniversary

commission’s work and our continuing growth in our regional programs. all of

us at ForKids are grateful that, despite our challenges, we can count on you to

once again meet the growing needs of the children and families we serve. on

behalf of our families, board and staff, thank you!

With our deepest gratitude,

marie Finch

2013 ForKids Phoenix Outstanding Achievement Honoree

lacy.lacy first experienced homelessness as a single mother

with her 18-month old son, alex. She had suddenly found

herself evicted from her apartment shortly after losing

her job and having trouble making ends meet. With no

options available, lacy and her baby had no choice but to

sleep in their car for two weeks.

lacy and alex were able to connect to haven house,

ForKids’ emergency shelter, where they received the

much needed support and assistance to get back on their

feet. Soon lacy had steady employment at a fast food

restaurant during the day and at a cleaning service during

the evening. lacy and alex progressed into transitional

housing and lacy was selected to work with the ForKids

gardening angels program as the Program assistant.

however, in 2004, things once again took a turn for

the worse when lacy was diagnosed with lupus.

She decided to move herself and alex to texas to seek

support from family. things did not work out in texas

and after a year, lacy and alex found themselves back in

norfolk and homeless once again.

in 2005, lacy reentered ForKids’ program and obtained a

job with norfolk Public Schools as a bus driver. after 30

days at haven house, lacy and alex found an apartment

and finally the stability they had sought for so long.

lacy continued to grow in her roles at norfolk Public

Schools and has advanced to the role of transportation

manager. in addition, she has earned her associates

degree and is on track to complete her bachelors

this december from St. leo university. lacy is a true

inspiration to many, including her now 17-year old son,

who plans to enter the marine corps upon graduation.

ForKids honored lacy at the Phoenix awards

on november 7, 2013 for her remarkable tenacity and

courage, overcoming significant personal challenges

and breaking the cycle of homelessness and poverty for

her family.

congratulations lacy for the distance you have traveled

and for how far we know you will go!

Jeannette’s New Milestonemany of you remember Jeannette when she first came to

ForKids in 2008. She and her mother, deborah, lived in one

of our permanent supportive homes for nearly five years.

though deborah struggled with physical and mental health

issues, she strived to put her daughter first.

Jeannette has always been focused and determined

despite the hardships and struggles she and her mom

faced. in school she excelled. She loved studying Japanese

and also participated in the nJrotc, where she made

rank several times. however, Jeannette struggled in math.

algebra threatened her ability to graduate but Jeannette

would not give up, and neither would ForKids. Jeannette’s

children’s education advocate worked closely with her

teacher to get Jeannette the additional help she needed.

as time went on, Jeannette no longer needed the special

education services and was given the opportunity to leave

the program. Jeannette is the epitome of resiliency.

at the end of June, Jeannette reached two remarkable

milestones. She graduated from high school with honors,

and received a merit scholarship to attend tidewater

community college. this past august, Jeannette &

deborah moved from ForKids housing and into their own

home, another important milestone.

in her scholarship essay, Jeannette stated that with a

degree in nursing, she could gain the skills necessary to

help others, like her mother, who have experienced chronic

pain. She ended her essay by saying, “i look forward

to seeing happy faces and helping to change the lives of

many people.”

We look forward to that too, but also know that at ForKids,

she already has.

on behalf of the board and staff of ForKids, inc., i am

pleased to report to you that the organization has once

again completed a very successful year financially. the

organization generated a small surplus, received its 22nd

consecutive “unqualified” audit from cherry bekaert and a

second consecutive 4 Star rating by charity navigator.

as a board member, i am most encouraged by the fact that

ForKids grew its programs by more than $300,000 while

keeping administrative and fundraising expenses flat. this

was accomplished through increased support from the

community, including the united Way. ForKids continues to

be a lean, mission driven organization, generating positive

outcomes substantiated by both the statistics and stories

contained in the pages of this annual report.

however, as a citizen i am deeply concerned by the

increased need evidenced by the thousands of families that

reached out to ForKids for shelter and housing assistance

last year and the lack of public funding or planning to

address the needs of homeless families and children across

the region. this reality must change if our community is to

thrive. ForKids is committed to not just its own financial

health and the well-being of its families, but to improving

the health and economic well-being of the entire region.

on behalf of the board, thank you for your contributions

to ForKids’ vital work. Your support truly makes our work

possible. i ask for your continued financial support and

advocacy on behalf of the families we serve, as we strive

together to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty

for families and children in our community.

Thank you to the additional 665 donors who gave gifts of $249 and below. * Indicates United Way designation

Giving More Than Her Timebarbara hall, pictured above, has given our kids nearly

200 hours of her time. When barbara came to ForKids

this year, we knew that we were getting a former

educator who wanted to work with children, but we had

no idea what we were in for! barbara hit the ground

running and found her niche tutoring the kids in the

transitional and permanent supportive housing programs

at elizabeth Place.

ForKids children’s education advocate, Jay Keirle, cannot

say enough about barbara. “barbara is amazing! i don’t

know what we’d do without her. She tutors with us

tuesday through thursday and during Jumpstart*. She is

an excellent volunteer and we are so lucky to have her.”

barbara was so moved by our kids that she decided to

volunteer at two community schools and request to work

specifically with ForKids’ kids. When the kids see her in

the hallway at their school, they are always excited to see

her, running to her and shouting her name. most of the

teachers know her and recognize how special she is to

the kids.

barbara’s greatest gifts are her consistency and her

knowledge of the school system. Jay added, “she is

warm and caring - however she always manages to get

down to business with them. Whenever the kids answer

something correctly, she smiles and says to them ‘oh,

kiss your brain!’”
