Subject: Request for your assistance in our orphanage center here in abia
state Nigerian. A small donation of $50 will feed a child for seven days.

Dear Sir/Madam.

The Red Cross Society Orphanage Center, request your assistance for the benefit of the less privileged babies and orphans in our center here in Abia State Nigeria.

Introduction
In our center relief comes primarily from local, grassroots efforts with little outside financial support. One such effort, the Rose Ilogbo Orphanage, provides housing and care for 400 orphans State Nigeria, West Africa. Orphans live a derelict life on the street. They are helpless children because either both parents have died or their mothers were deserted, widowed, or divorced; or they came from an unwanted pregnancy. Consequently, they are left without love, care and support and must carve out a bleak existence on the street. They quickly become involved in anti-social and criminal activities in a cruel struggle to survive.

To make matters worse, our children in the center are often subject to social ostracization and isolation due to deeply-held traditional beliefs. This creates a significant challenge for potential caregivers to rescue and care for them. Regardless, the Red Cross Society Orphanage Center – a strategically located Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) – is currently providing “Essential Services” to 400 helpless children in Abia State Nigeria, West Africa.

_Mission_
The mission of the Red Cross Society Orphanage Center is to provide for up to 400 children with safe and reasonably normal life through the provision of shelter, food, and education and to find them foster homes.
