Walk-a-thon
Philanthropy in America
On March 14, 2009
Tender Life hosted our 10th
annual Walk for Babies
event. This year I would
like to focus on two special
girls. Grace Myers and
her friend Morgan Glinski
joined efforts and baked
goodies, which they sold to
raise money for the walka-thon. Now that’s pu�ing
your heads together girls!
This is what grass roots
philanthropy is all about. I
foresee a career in business
in these girls future as well!
In 2007, $306 billion in private money was given to
nonprofits. This does not include government funding or
earned income. Where does it come from?
12% Foundations
04% Corporations
76% Individuals
08% Bequests
More than half of this money came from middle class,
working class, and poor people—in other words, people
like you and me. It doesn’t take a last name of Gates,
Winfry or Rockefeller to make a difference. You can make a
difference with even the smallest contribution. All it takes
is the dedication to help a li�le every month.
The newest addition to our website is a recurring
option on our donation page. You can choose any amount.
If each of us does this we can make a huge difference
together. h�p://www.tenderlife.org/help_donate.htm

WISH LIST
Positive Parenting Class
Starting June 22
Van: In recent months it has become clear that Tender
Life Maternity Home would benefit from owning a van for
transporting the mothers and babies. There are often church and
other events that ALL the girls want to attend. The last time they
had such an event it took 3 cars with volunteers to transport. And
this didn’t include two of the mothers.
Diapers: With 5 newborns at Tender Life Maternity
Home you can imagine the number of diapers we go through.
Diapers in sizes newborn, size 1 and 2 are greatly needed on an
ongoing basis.
The “Redirecting Children’s Behavior” class is designed to
help parents become more creative in dealing with children
and the many challenges they present. You will learn how
to discipline without yelling; ways to build and enhance
your children’s self-esteem; how to develop a strong sense
of responsibility in your children; and how to create an
encouraging family environment. The next class begins
on Monday, June 22 at Ventura Vineyard, 1956 Palma
Drive in Ventura. The class continue for the following 5
Mondays, completing on July 20.
The class teaches parents and professionals how to
discipline children in a way that enhances self-esteem,
guides behavior, teach children self-responsibility and
cooperation. Adults learn to respond effectively to a
child rather than react emotionally. The class teaches
parents how to redirect children who can’t play peacefully
together, teenagers who ignore the rules, and toddlers who
demand all the a�ention.

Major topics include: Reducing the yelling and nagging,
replacing fighting with negotiation and cooperation,
building a child’s self-esteem, praise vs. encouragement
and how the results differ, applying natural and logical
consequences, promoting agreement on discipline and
resolving family conflicts. The exercises, demonstrations
and role playing help the parents feel confident as they
learn to prevent inappropriate behavior and establish
effective and lasting changes.
