It is one thing to be part of a statistical report' "70 children needing foster homes urgently" and quite another to be Sandy of the children who literally has no place to go. Sandy really does not know what the figures mean or that this appeal is being made to find a home for him. However, he does know tihat suddenly life is much harder than it was before and that he is left alone and hungry with no one to care for him most of the time. Sandy's mother is young and she works in a defense plant. He has never seen his father.

If someone will offer him a home he can repay them generously with his love Sandy, and many others like him, need your help. The Homes for Delaware Children Committee is hoping to find homes for all these children. If you are willing to share your home for a brief period of months, or for a long time, call The Children's Bureau of Delaware, 704 Delaware Avenue, telephone 3-5177, or the State Board of Welfare, 2120 Market Street, telephone 4-2481.
