<div><em>Because no child should feel forgotten due to financial hardship.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, my name is Shrista, and I’m launching For A Kid Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to granting birthday and holiday wishes for children (ages 0–18) whose families are facing financial hardship in the Portland, Oregon area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This fundraiser has one clear purpose:</strong>
</div>
<div>to cover the<strong> $275 IRS filing fee </strong>required to obtain 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status so the foundation can officially operate, accept tax-deductible donations, and apply for grants. The goal is set at<strong> $300</strong> to help cover GoFundMe processing fees.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once approved, For A Kid Foundation can begin serving families, building partnerships, and creating programs that ensure children still experience dignity, joy, and being seen — even during difficult seasons.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><a href="https://subscribepage.io/forakid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">For a Kid website</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Foundation Exists</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I created For A Kid because I know what it feels like to be the child who goes unnoticed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I grew up in a low-income, single-parent household where birthdays and holidays often passed quietly. I remember returning to school after winter break and listening to classmates talk about what they received, while knowing I had nothing to share. That feeling of invisibility stayed with me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I promised myself that no child should ever feel forgotten simply because their family is struggling.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This vision was first shared during a simple phone call — when it was still just an idea — and <strong>Tasha Lianne,</strong> now Secretary of For A Kid Foundation, believed in it from the very beginning. Her early support helped turn this idea into a real, actionable mission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Where We Are Now</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>✔️ The organization is officially registered
</div>
<div>✔️ Programs and structure are thoughtfully planned
</div>
<div>✔️ Leadership is in place
</div>
<div>✔️ The mission and vision are fully developed
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The final step is securing tax-exempt status.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser exists solely to remove that last barrier and make the foundation official.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to <strong>donate or share,</strong> you’re helping lay the foundation for a community-supported nonprofit that will bring joy, relief, and dignity to children who need it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution — no matter the size — truly matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in this mission and in the kids we’ll serve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
