It wasn’t just a meal delivery; it was a profound gesture to reassure these elders that they are valued and remembered, even in the quiet corners of the world.
Laughter in the Water, Hope in Their Backpacks
Our Back-to-School Project Is Taking Off!
After months of planning, fundraising, and heartfelt effort, our back-to-school project is in full swing! From joyful splashes at the water park to backpacks filled with hope, we’re excited to see the impact growing — and we’re just getting started.
As we face the continued challenges of 2025—from rising costs to global uncertainty—AYI CAN HELP volunteers remain unwavering in our mission to uplift those in need. This back-to-school season, we’re proud to pack 200 backpacks for teens in local shelters, ensuring they step into the school year with confidence and dignity.
From Maryland (MD) to Virginia (VA), Washington (WA), and beyond, our impact stretches across communities and borders. These efforts are a testament to what’s possible when compassion leads the way.
Now more than ever, we invite you to embrace the spirit of giving. When you support or participate in charitable projects, you’re doing more than helping someone today—you’re sparking a ripple effect of hope, resilience, and generosity for generations to come.
Let’s carry the torch of kindness forward. Together, we can build a future where no child is left behind—one backpack, one child, one act of love at a time.
Merry Christmas
On a cold winter day, a simple food truck became a place of warmth and hope. Hot meals were shared, kindness was exchanged, and no one was forgotten. Sometimes Christmas looks like a warm meal, a caring hand, and the reminder that love still shows up—right where it’s needed most.
✨ May this season bring warmth, dignity, and hope to every heart. ✨
Thanksgiving Food Drive for Families in Need
Early this morning, our teen volunteers traveled to Baltimore to prepare and deliver hot Thanksgiving meals to people experiencing homelessness. For many of them, it was their first time cooking, but with guidance from senior volunteers, they learned quickly and worked joyfully.
When they handed out the warm meals on the streets, the smiles and gratitude they received made every bit of effort worthwhile.
Even young hearts can bring light to a cold morning. 🧡
Our Thanksgiving donations to the Baltimore school community were delivered successfully, bringing real warmth to families in need. Parents were deeply touched by the large, fully packed bags — many said the size and fullness made them feel truly cared for.
In the photos, the black bags are from other donors, while Ayi’s blue and clear bags are nearly twice as large, generously filled with essentials to help families face the holiday with dignity and comfort.
This year, the Baltimore school community center will support 150 families for Thanksgiving. We are grateful to stand with them and deeply thankful to everyone whose kindness made this possible.
This Thanksgiving, love made a small miracle happen. 🧡🙏
Youth Helping Youth: FeedMore Boston
Through the help from all of our volunteers, the money from cash donations and recycled items donations all contributed to the cause for people in need. It enabled us to not only help the local people but also to help the international orphans and children in need.
The effect of our “little steps”, through sharing and giving, is enormous. We truly do make a difference in the society and hopefully everyone is keeping up with the good work.
If you have ever made a donation to charity groups, you might understand that not every institute is willing to take the time to write thank-you letters or to issue donation receipts to you. Often times they take a while to mail donation receipts to you.
Since we emphasized that we don’t have overhead of any administrative expenses, all our volunteers who are involved in the charity cases are “100% volunteered” – meaning that not one cent goes to as the administration fees. All the gas money comes right out from our own pockets, and our financials are open and transparent in public. Our volunteers, as always, try their best to get the donation receipt(s) as soon as they receive the donations.
We post on the website regularly, keeping our readers updated on where all the donations go. If you have questions, please email to Ayi Can Help at ayicanhelp@gmail.com directly for verification.
