Help MATCH stop tearing our families apart!



Hi I’m Anneliese,

Thank you for sharing your interest with my blog! MATCH stands for ‘mothers apart from their children’ they work together as a voluntary organisation, to help families and their children reunite.

However, in order for MATCH to help others and their families out, they need our help. All we have to do is support MATCH by maybe donating a few pounds and signing up to their charity. They need our help because without it many other families’ hearts are breaking and MATCH can do nothing without extra funding but to sit back and watch them suffer.
 
After divorce, major arguments amongst parents can happen. Children may be adopted, or even abducted. Families are stuck, sometimes mothers can’t look after them properly, and this is where MATCH comes in.

With our help, MATCH can visit families and find out what has happened by asking a few questions. They may send mothers on a few courses to make sure that they will be fit enough to become a mother again. If mothers have been violent in the past and physically abused another member of the family, usually the children cannot live with her, but go on to live with another relative.



At the end of the day, all children deserve an equal right to live the same way as others like you and I. MATCH believes it’s important for them to be in a loving, nurturing family network for life, no matter how many times that the family re-makes itself, no matter where their mothers live.

Thank you very much for taking you time to read this. Please can you now spare a moment to answer these questions:

  • Had you heard of MATCH before?
  • Do you now feel more informed about what MATCH do?
  • Would you now be prepared to do any of the following things to help improve the lives of children suffering family dilemmas?
  1. Make a donation to ‘MATCH’?
  2. Start or join a FUND raising campaign?
  3. Tell your friends and family about MATCH and try to persuade them to help out in any ways above?

If you kindly post a response, may you please tell me where you are from i.e. your home town and country (if not UK!)

It just takes a loving heart to make small donations which therefore achieves major differences. Visit http://www.matchmothers.org/ and go to donate, your money donated will go towards making every child in need of a family happy.

After all it shouldn’t hurt to be a child.

Thank you for your co-operation
Anneliese.
