Year End Appeal Letter 2011
-
Dear Friend, Family & Partner,
I want to thank you so much for all of your love, prayers, support and partnership over the past year. Because of your participation in God’s Kingdom, through Solidarity, this has been an incredible year of growth for us and you have played such a significant role in that. We need your partnership to continue the amazing things that God has done and is doing in and through us. As you read, please pray and consider if you can make room in your giving this year for Solidarity which will impact the lives of hundreds of families in both Fullerton and Sao Paulo Brasil.
Sincerely,
Thomas NixonExecutive Director
HOW WE’VE GROWN
PROGRAMS
This year we have started two new after school programs, one in the Maple neighborhood called Glimpse and the other at Richman Elementary School called Racing Gears. This adds another 170
students that we get to be in relationship with in the city of Fullerton.
STAFF & VOLUNTEERS
Over the last year we have added six new staff members to the Solidarity family bringing our total number of staff to 17. We have 116 volunteers that give their time weekly to our friends and
neighbors involved in our initiatives. We also have over 150 volunteers that serve for six weeks during the
summer in our SolFul (Summer of Love Fullerton) programs.
STUDENTS & FAMILIES
We are currently journeying with 335 students through daily and weekly CFRs
(context for relationships or programs). During the summer that number greatly increases to over 500 students who are involved in our SolFul programs.
It has been truly amazing to watch and be a part of this growth that God has continued to do in and through us. We need your partnership to sustain the growth and continue towards the mission that God has given us. “We empower believers to be dynamic followers of Christ whose lifestyles marked by love will impact communities towards holistic transformation.” Ever wonder how your gift impacts lives?

Click the image to learn moreThis year we are looking to take 80 people up to The Oaks Winter Camp. Every year we have this small window of opportunity to get our students out of the barrio and experience a weekend fully dedicated to finding God without any of the distractions of the street. This weekend always pays huge dividends in the lives our students.
Solid Brasil will relaunch in 2012 with an exciting new vision. We need $10,000 to support this crucial initiative. Solid Brasil envisions marginalized communities (street kids, urban slum families, sexually exploited children and Bolivian immigrants) transformed through experiencing love, belonging and significance in Sao Paulo Brasil.
This year we have 3 neighborhoods with after school programs in them with 275 students in all. This is not including the 500 that we have for summer programming. Help us continue to give amazing support and deep relationships to these students and families in Fullerton.
THANK YOU!!
