Feeling Grateful and Proud!
A Message from the Executive Director
This was a year to remember for the Our Kids family. We faced both challenges and opportunities with resourcefulness and imagination. 
The biggest challenge was the extreme water damage from the flood of 2010 which affected the entire lower level of the 1804 Hayes Street building.
Thankfully, patient care was never disrupted. Many volunteers performed dry wall tear out and assisted in other ways. After five months of construction to rebuild, I am happy to say, the building is better than ever!
I am deeply thankful for the many loyal supporters who have generously contributed to help us reach our financial goals. Also, this year was the 6th year of the Sophie Society, the program that encourages multi-year financial commitments. Many members ended 2010 by recommitting to a multi-year pledge to support Our Kids. Thank you for creating greater sustainability and allowing Our Kids to grow in appropriate and important ways.
