"The children who are at the heart of A Friend's House have so much potential and are the reason why I believe we can go further and do more," Ms. Webb said. "That is why I'm thrilled to be joining the Board of this remarkable organization that's at the forefront of building a community around the most vulnerable among us – abandoned or neglected children. I look forward to deepening my involvement in improving their lives and raising funds to reach our goals."

Funds raised by Kingswood U.S. have gone toward the following projects:

  • New washers and dryers as organization teaches children basic life skills
  • Special celebrations that include hosting a Christmas party at Dave & Buster's and end-of-school bash with a smoothie truck for the children
  • Separate academic labs for girls and boys to do homework, read or be tutored
  • Separate "Chill Zones" for boys and girls, where they can accept visitors or watch TV as reward for good behavior
  • Skateboard halfpipe (currently under construction)
