Social Oxygen

Nothing quite like a lung full of fresh air, unless you never get any.
More than just air. A little elbow room, a change of scenery and the joyous abandon of summer are magical. I know I had plenty of above when I was young and have the good fortune to chase more of it as my whims dictate.
Kids in cities don’t have it so good.
Nothing wrong with cities, but there isn’t a low of elbow room and few places where you can safely run, scream and shout. Too few horses and some of the dogs you don’t want to pet.
Not much fresh air either.
If you live somewhere with a piece of land, a swimming hole, dogs, horses and other childhood essentials – like fresh air – then open your home to a city kid this summer. The good folk at Fresh Air will show you how. And if you yourself live in a city and know first hand how suffocating they can be, then toss a little change to the Fresh Air Fund.
Kids need the social oxygen.
