Dear Editor:

We are so incredibly blessed to have such an amazing and giving community. We are blown away by the response we’ve gotten for our Giving Tuesday campaign, especially on the last day for the George Kristo $12,500 match. We had an almost 30 percent increase in donations and were able to meet our matching goal.

Westfield Youth Assistance Program’s Board and Staff would like to thank each and every single person who has donated to our program or volunteered throughout 2022. All your support truly makes an impact and allows us to continue to help Westfield youth.

Please click here to watch a video as mom Kari and her two children Kenn’yon and Kerrine talk about Westfield Youth Assistance Program’s impact on their family.

“If it wasn’t for the Westfield Youth Assistance Program, I can definitely say that Kenn’yon, Kerrine and I would not be in a sane, stable place that we’re in now,” Kari said. “I believe that life would probably be a little more complicated than it is, had it not been for meeting Christine and getting involved in the Westfield Youth Assistance Program when we did.”

Once again, we would like to thank our amazing donors, our Board Members, staff, tutors, mentors, and volunteers. It’s thanks to all these incredible people that the Westfield Youth Assistance Program is able to continue.
