Rewards of Advocating
All Iowans have the right to contact legislators and express their views about legislation – not just professional lobbyists. When you advocate for legislation that supports Four Oaks, you can impact the lives of more than 7,000 at-risk children and family members under our care this year.
In most cases, the kids we help reach a point where they need our services because of the unsupportive, dysfunctional environment in their home. They've veered off the path of success in life because they've used inappropriate ways to cope—not because they are incorrigible criminals.
By helping them receive the care they need, you can help them envision success once again. As a result, they can become active, contributing adults in their community. When they make this transition, you and your fellow citizens will realize tremendous social, economic and personal benefits.
So please, do raise your voice in support of legislation that helps fund Four Oaks services for Iowa's at-risk children and their families. There is no greater reward in life than to help change a life for the better.
Tell your state legislators to fund Four Oaks services for at-risk kids.
