Simply stated, One More Candle needs you to adopt a memory, a child to honor as though having been one of your own family.
It is imperative that we keep the flame of memory alive for 1.5 million children.
Our Values
One More Candle values the recognition of the interconnectedness of the past and the future in the support and caring of children.
From generation to generation.
With all the hurtfulness and hatefulness that seems to overwhelm our world, OMC gives each of us the opportunity to do something positive by recognizing a singular life that was lost and to empower each person to be able to stand up for those who are presently being sacrificed yet again in our world today.
One More Candle greatly honors the commitment each individual makes by sharing the memory of a child who may well have no one left to remember they existed.
One person can make a difference.
One More Candle proves that.
