Saving Children with The Sparkles Foundation
Child hunger, human trafficking, foster care, displacement from war, and children living without basic necessities can feel like problems far too big for one person to solve. But making a difference doesn’t require solving everything. Sometimes, it starts with simply deciding to do something. In this episode of The Glamorous Grind, employment attorney Mila Arutunian and family law specialist Ilona Antonyan sit down with Kathy Kassardjian, founder of the Sparkles Foundation, to discuss how her decades of humanitarian work inspired her to create a nonprofit focused on helping vulnerable children in San Diego and around the world. Kathy shares how Sparkles Foundation supports children affected by human trafficking, poverty, displacement, food insecurity, medical needs, and other difficult circumstances. She also discusses why transparency matters when donating, how donors can choose where their contributions go, and why volunteering your time, skills, or resources can be just as valuable as making a financial donation.
