Happy Valentine’s Day

these heartwarming stories CELEBRATE LOVE

While Valentine’s Day was created to celebrate romantic love, it’s also a chance to recognize the many forms that love takes. There’s no limit to how many people you can love. Partners, parents, children, friends — our hearts always make room for more.

We want to highlight your love for the children you help — which is happily returned by them and their families. We’ve collected our Valentine’s Day videos through the years to remind you of how your support is truly impacting the children’s lives. They’re filled with smiles and laughter, and of course, a lot of children making hearts with their hands!

Then take a moment to read some touching stories about how love from a community, a family — and even loving oneself —can change the path of a child’s life.
