It’s been a little while… but we’re back for something meaningful. Can you believe Mother’s Day is right around the corner? 🌼

This year, celebrate the moms, mother-figures, dads, and caregivers who give so much by giving back.
In honor of Mother’s Day (and a little early nod to Father’s Day), consider making a donation in someone’s name.

A gift that truly keeps giving. 💚

Sister Senkenesh Gebre-Mariam has devoted her life to uplifting the children and community at the Medhen Social Center. She is an icon of love and compassion, and a role model to many.

Here are thee things you may not know about our Sister:

1️⃣ She trained her whole staff to see people beyond their labels. Instead of focusing only on needs, she helps her team use asset and strength-based care, recognizing people’s gifts and stories, not just their challenges.
2️⃣ Her vision helps to serve thousands of people a month, and she believes in partnership. Real change happens with one another.
3️⃣ She leads with love in action, and unwavering tender care is what guides everything she does.

✨Celebrate Sister and her impactful work with a gift on this Tender Tuesday. Visit www.morechildren.org to find out MORE!

The staff members at the Medhen Social Center (MSC) are truly exceptional. They are dedicated people who work with compassion and determination to help the children and their families every single day. From the social workers to the teachers to the administration and beyond, every staff member exemplifies the definition of tenderness. They are not only committed to the well-being of the children and families they serve, but they also build strength within the entire community as well. During a conversation with one of the social workers, he mentioned he will often stop by to check in and say hello to the some of the families, even during days where he is not “working”. He let us know he does this because he genuinely enjoys what he does, and because he wholeheartedly wants to. His heart is immersed within the community, and thus inspires all of us to share and spread the love.

May this Tender Tuesday bring you a sense of warmth, joy, and of course, tenderness. Follow along for the next few weeks to hear more heartwarming stories. 💚🇪🇹

Hello there, Tender Tuesday. What do physical health, intellectual growth, and emotional well-being all have in common? Every child assisted by MSC receives attention to all three, benefitting from a network of home-based care that pairs kids needing families with families that have love to give. MSC’s unique model offers a loving and holistic approach that is essential for children to grow and thrive.

Support for programs that nurture children’s psychosocial growth, emotional well-being, mental health, and MORE is made possible by donors like the parishioners at Good Shepherd Parish in New Jersey. Last month, they laced up their shoes and walked with purpose, raising over $10,000 for M.O.R.E.! Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for ALL the love and support we’ve received.

The word tender carries many meanings, including caring, warmhearted, kind, and compassionate. Starting today, Giving Tuesday, MORE launches “Tender Tuesdays” to share snippets of the incredible impact that donor dollars have in providing the most tender care to orphaned and vulnerable children and youth in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Thank you so much for your support – an important reminder of all the goodness that exists in this world!

A recent flood this fall brought a lot of damage near and around The Medhen Social Center (MSC). The caring, responsive, and prepared staff members at MSC quickly jumped into action to rescue 15 families, including infants and children. They were able to rapidly provide them with food, clothing, shelter, and other necessities that may have been lost. In moments of crisis, tenderness became action, and compassion became the bridge that carried these families back towards hope.

We look forward to sharing more tender Tuesday stories with you, and we invite you to follow along for next few weeks! 💚🇪🇹
