Children of the Coin was founded in 2006 by Maggie Guillen and Selene Santiago as a way to experience the art of giving and compassion with their daughters, Paloma and Maya.
Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, a 60-year Halloween tradition beloved by generations, is one of America's longest-running volunteer activities. This is COTC's 3rd year collecting coins for UNICEF online and we hope you'll trick-or-treat with us.
It takes seconds to make a donation, and you can give any amount, a little or a lot (seriously, even the change in your pocket can make a huge difference). Since it's so easy to make an impact, we hope you'll support us in this important cause.
Here are some examples of how a little can go a long way:
* 7¢ can buy crayons for an entire class
* $1 protects a child from measles for life. Measles is lethally infectious. It is still responsible for 750,000 child deaths annually.
* $3 can provide one child with basic school supplies such as pencils, books, chalk, slate board and paper.
* $12 can buy 20 packets of high-protein biscuits to feed malnourished children.
Thanks ever so much!
