And, Things of My Very Own continues to give shout outs to local heroes, like Anthony, who give of themselves. Anthony is an “11-year-old selfless superhero, on a mission, to help children who are fleeing crises. This year Anthony was asked what he wants for Christmas. He said that he wanted to sponsor children through our Sponsor-a-Child in Crisis Program.”

“We take care of immediate needs and then we work with people to show them they are more than what they have endured. When you can hold your head up high, you’re more likely to apply for a job and be a better parent. We make people feel important. We treat clients the same as we do our biggest donors,” Rayn shared in the interview with Times Union.

Things of My Very Own Inc. is based out of Schenectady, New York, but they’ve created several ways for people from all over the place to come alongside them and make a difference in the lives of the children they serve.

Visit their website or connect with them on Facebook for more information about how you can join the movement.
