Feizy Partners With Child Welfare Organizations
As a family business, Feizy prioritizes their commitment to help children and families around the globe receive resources that will improve their standard of life. This year, Feizy has partnered with two organizations dedicated to improving the lives of children everywhere. The Global Fund for Children is an organization that Feizy has been committed to for many years. Through their partners, The Global Fund for Children is able to empower children and youth living in the most difficult of circumstances– refugees, orphans, trafficked children, young people living with HIV, and many more – and bring dignity and opportunity to their lives. Since 1997, The Global Fund for Children has improved the lives of more than 10 million children and youth worldwide. This year Feizy increased their annual charitable contribution and is donating $25,000 to aid in their efforts to help the world’s most marginalized children. “The Global Fund for Children is thrilled to have Feizy Rugs’ continued commitment to supporting our work with locally-led organizations around the globe. With their help, we are finding incredible innovators and equipping them to create a world where children and youth thrive,” said GFC President and CEO John Hecklinger. “We appreciate Feizy’s ongoing efforts to join us in making sure all children have a bright future.” Feizy is also partnering with Buckner Family Hope Centers to make the Holiday wishes of seven children at one of their local centers come true. Family Hope Centers seek to keep families together by providing them with critical services, aid, and coaching to decrease the likelihood of abuse, neglect and removal of children. “Once a single orphans home in Dallas, Buckner now serves half a million people each year through programs designed to transform the whole person – physically, mentally and spiritually. Buckner was able to partner with Feizy this year to ensure that seven kiddos will have a great Christmas! These kiddos have already gone through so much in their little lives … something like a new toy or even a stuffed animal can give them just a little bit more hope. It is something that they can call their own. Many of them leave their homes with only what they are wearing so to have something that is their own and that they can take with them is huge,” said Lead Ministry Engagement Coordinator Laura Bryant. “We want to extend our thanks to Feizy for partnering with us this year and making the Christmas wishes of these kiddos come true!” The key to the Family Hope Center’s success is found in combining effective programs and passionate people to help families that are experiencing poverty, family issues, and a...
Feizy Donates $15,000 to Nepal Aid Relief
In response to the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal, Feizy Rugs is supporting The Global Fund for Children (GFC) with a $15,000 donation, as well as a commitment to provide a portion of the company’ sales through May 15th, in an effort to bolster the organization in bringing critical relief to Nepalese children and their families. “As rug manufacturers, we have worked for decades with the people of Nepal,” said John Feizy, CEO of Feizy Rugs. “Helping the children of the world to have a better life has always been a focus at Feizy and we recognize that with a disaster like this, those children need our support now more than ever.” To date, The Global Fund for Children reports they are receiving news of shelter concerns from their grassroots partners in the country. An orphanage served by GFC partner Partnership for Sustainable Development Nepal has sustained structural damage, making it unsafe for the children to go inside. According to Bishnu Bhatta, Partnership for Sustainable Development Nepal’s director, the children of the orphanage have been staying out in the open for the last three days. His organization’s office has also been damaged, and he has been staying outside as well. “Our grassroots partners in Nepal are on the front lines every day, working with children who were already living under fragile circumstances before the earthquake,” said Susan Goodell, CEO of The Global Fund for Children. “This generous gift from Feizy Rugs ensures that we can help meet their immediate needs and also contribute to their long-term recovery in the wake of this terrible crisis.” “We are humbled by the enormity of this tragic situation and committed to helping the people of Nepal,” said Mr. Feizy. “In addition to our commitment, we are asking that all of our employees, customers and vendors please donate to help aid in the recovery of this beautiful country.” To help The Global Fund for Children in Nepal thorough your donation, go to http://bit.ly/1DxdrYb.
