National Orphan Day May 25th
Join our mission to establish a national holiday that recognizes and celebrates the orphans of America. Orphans endure many struggles that are often overlooked due to the lack of basic assistance and support. The strength and perseverance orphans have should be acknowledged and celebrated. To all the orphans reading this, you are not alone.
Why National Orphan Day?
Our goal is to give orphans a day of their own where they can remember their struggles and celebrate their accomplishments. Mother's and Father's Day is a day to honor and appreciate your parents. While we don't have that option we still need to remember to honor and appreciate what we have endured on our own. This nation has many holidays even though not all are officially observed. We're not asking for an officially observed day. We just want a day on the calendar that we can call our own. A day where we can remember how far we've come and how far we are willing to go. While there is a World Orphan Day we feel that it doesn't give enough awareness and credit to the orphans of America.
Our Goals
Our main goal is to establish the day May 25th as a holiday for America's orphans.
Our other goals are to work with businesses and government to offer services and products to help orphans navigate life as a juvenile and young adult.
• School grants for college and grade school. This could be for tuition, supplies, or transportation.
• Housing assistance. This could range from helping with moving into an apartment to a down payment on a home.
• Financial tools such as helping establish FICO credit, opening bank accounts, and auto loans and credit cards.
• Health care assistance and help accessing medical care.
• Transportation. Help navigating the DMV, down payment assistance on first-time auto purchase, and insurance.
• Legal assistance. This could vary from help with legal forms to navigating social security benefits.
