Many of these children experience disruptions in their education and lack consistent access to reading materials. This initiative will provide my books that children can begin and continue over time, helping them build literacy skills, confidence, and a sense of ownership in their learning.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to books, Lena\u2019s Adventures will provide clothing and basic supplies to children in need. Access to appropriate clothing supports self-esteem, comfort, and a sense of normalcy, which is especially important for children navigating difficult transitions.<\/p>\n<p>These resources will be distributed during supervised visitation services and community-based outreach efforts. The program will also encourage reading and positive engagement during visits, allowing children and their families to share meaningful experiences through my books and structured activities.<\/p>\n<p>Through this project, Lena\u2019s Adventures aims to support both the educational and emotional needs of foster youth by providing consistent access to my books, clothing, and essential items. This effort will help create a more supportive and nurturing environment for children while reinforcing the importance of literacy, stability, and personal growth.<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: 5,000<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): Lena\u2019s Adventures will seek additional support through community donations, local partnerships, and in-kind contributions. At this time, no confirmed funding has been secured; however, outreach efforts are ongoing to supplement grant funding.<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: 6 months<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Richmond, Virginia and surrounding Henrico County communities<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: Children and youth ages 4\u201317 involved in the foster care system<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mrs.<br \/>\nContact First Name: Regina<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Alston<br \/>\nContact Title: Founder<br \/>\nContact Phone: 804-247-8290<br \/>\nContact Email: adventureslena@gmail.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: Lena\u2019s Adventures Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Mailing Address: PO Box 70427 City: Henrico State: Virginia Postal Code: 23255 Main Phone: 804-585-6580 Main Fax: Organization Website: https:\/\/www.lenasadventures.org\/ Employer ID Number: 863079973 Organization Tax Status: 501(c))3 Proposal Information Today&#8217;s Date: 03\/24\/2026 Requested Amount: $5,000 Project Title: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10613"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10613\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10614,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10613\/revisions\/10614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
