Here are just some of the children you help:

Laura, aged 15
For eight months Laura slept rough on the streets; in car parks and curled up in empty concrete stairwells. Most of the time Laura felt frightened, cold and desperately lonely.
In Laura's own words: "I felt really unsafe but I had nowhere else to go. I was homeless because I felt the streets were safer than my own home." Then Laura met someone from the Emmaus Project - an organisation supported by BBC Children in Need which looks after young, homeless people in Laura's situation. Laura says: "Things are really good now. I'm going to college and studying some brilliant courses, and I'm so much happier. I still have worries but they're much smaller."

Zoe, aged 18
"I left home because I was being bullied by my dad's girlfriend. I'm blind and she used to pick on me about my disability."
"I managed to find a housing-association flat above a shop, but it was so cramped, filthy and smelly that I was ashamed to let anyone see it. Every day I'd eat biscuits for meals because I had no money and nowhere to cook. I was very unhappy."
"Then one of my friends told me about SHAP, who provides housing support for young people like me. Someone came to visit me at home once a week and regularly phoned me. The company also helped me to set up my utilities accounts, help me pay the bills and showed me how to get education and training. People would also come with me to meetings with the social services, because I'm not very confident."

Zoe and Laura are only a few of the children you help, there so are many other children out there who are still homeless, suffer from many different illness and are abused. Please donate everything you can to Children in Need, you can still donate. Remember; Every little penny counts.
