One Can Help  was conceived by professionals who work with Boston's MetroWest court-involved 'low income/high risk' children. Its mission is to encourage these children and their families to make positive changes in their lives by providing financial help so that these goals can be achieved.

   One Can Help helps by:

• Providing for the individual needs of children who have been removed from their homes and are now living in foster care.
• Funding after-school and summer activities for children who otherwise would have no adult supervision.
• Encouraging teens to develop outside interests by paying the necessary fees for them to participate.
• Helping parents and foster parents pay for goods and services they need in order to care for their children but cannot afford, such as childcare, English lessons, transportation, counseling, drug screens, medical needs, school supplies, clothing, diapers, . . .

   One Can Help is different from many other organizations because:

• The social workers and court-appointed attorneys who work with these children request help to address a specific need when no other funding resource is available.
• 95% of your donation goes to help children in need. This organization is entirely supported through the efforts of volunteers who contribute their time and resources. The other 5% is used to support administrative needs essential to maintaining the One Can Help organization.
• No money is given to individuals themselves. Volunteer social workers ensure that contributions are spent only on the identified need.
• An "urgent email list" keeps donors informed about people with immediate problems so that they can help more directly- 'One Can Help'.
• The individuals that ‘One Can Help’ assists are already working with state agencies and professionals who can document that the need is genuine, and monitor progress.
