giving back

So i just found out about this event called the third annual blue ribbon heart gallery celebration. It is an event for the foster children in pima county. These kids have no family and its just really heart breaking to me that everyone in the world doesn't want to help these children. I was asked to ask some friends of mine to come along because they could really make a difference but i get worried that if it isn't what they imagine then they are going to judge me for it, like the event itself is not this fancy shmancy event but at the end of the day when you made hundreds of kids smile does it REALLY matter? I have this emotional draw to helping children especially kids that i know need to be reminded that people care about them. I am lucky enough to have a family and never had to experience foster care but I couldnt even imagine being so young and not knowing where my mommy is. it really just breaks my heart and makes me get very teary. If it was up to me i would just get everyone i could to help me, and i wonder if they would walk away from the situation with their heart feeling more full knowing that they impacted a childs life.
