I recently attended a meeting of the El Paso County Child Welfare Board, and had the pleasure of meeting Dorothy Truax who is the Board President of the El Paso Foster Parents Association.
She explained the size of the foster parent/child population in El Paso (a growing population) and the work this organization does to lend a hand providing a stable and supportive life for those in need.
I volunteered to help her raise support for their annual Christmas Party.
If any of you, your employers, or your own company if that is the case, wish to lend a helping hand, please contact Dorothy directly.
Thanks in advance for any support you can provide.

To Whom It May Concern:
The El Paso Area Foster Parent Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving El Paso’s foster families. Since 1976, the Association has worked to improve services by providing training for foster and adoptive families, recreational activities for children, and a crisis intervention project for families in need.
We are writing to request your assistance with our annual Christmas party. We are expecting about 350 children, but are asking you for about 25 to 50 gifts to be distributed at the party, or for a donation of money so that we can buy gifts to be passed out to the children. We appreciate any help possible. Our party is to be held on December 19th, at Socorro High cafeteria.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me on my cell phone at 915-274-2598 or by e-mail at dmtruax@yahoo.com. On behalf of El Paso’s foster children, we thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
