PROJECT BACKGROUND
Since 2014, LTK has operated throughout Duval County, in Jacksonville FL. We have worked diligently to address and meet the needs of the homeless and at risk youth in its community, through our various feeding and clothing programs. Our founders, personally, funded our first LTK benefit, the “That’s So Freakin Funny Comedy Jam” at the Veteran Memorial Arena in Jax, FL, in May of 2015. The generalized idea behind LUVTHEKIDZ benefit shows, is to create events that contribute to the greater good of our local communities. We believe that entertainment is one of God’s greatest resources that aid in bringing people together from all walks of life. Essentially, our goal is to host and promote successful Comical and Musical shows, with A-List talent, in conjunction with establishing connectivity to aid the needs of others.
Have you ever heard the sayings that, “Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying” and “Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”(Plato) Well, here at LUVTHEKIDZ INC. our goal is raise money for our House of Hope Campuses, while bringing hope, healing, and happiness through Music and Comedy.
When LUVTHEKIDZ Inc. was initially launched, our first priority was to raise the necessary funds needed for the construction of the House of Hope facility. Being established in Jacksonville, we witness so many children who are falling into a cycle of poverty because of the lack of positive organizations available to mentor and offer them a safe and productive place to go for homework, hangout, and recreation. Our staff often reminisce on when we were growing up and spent summers in the YMCA or the local community Center. These facilities gave children a place to feel safe with adult supervision and interaction. They also provided constructive and positive programs that taught practical life skills, that we still apply today. The lack of such facilities being made available to low-income children has a significant impact on the increase in drugs, violence, gangs, and other negativity that idleness and lack of proper guidance lead them too.
It has become impossible to avoid the constant news of famine and poverty in Africa. Of late, homeless children are being abducted and sold into a life of sexual abuse and slavery. After hearing of such heinous acts, we refuse to sit idle and watch innocent children continue to suffer. Over 80% of Africa’s population don’t have lights or adequate water. Children are dying every day from malnutrition. Most children do not continue their education past 5th grade. These realities have made West Africs, now, the priority of LUVTHEKIDZ. We must be the Change we hope to see.
