WANTED A HOME FOR A BOY.
A young lad in Chicago is suffer
ing from asthma. His illness has
forced him to drop out of high
school, and his doctor advises that
the best hopes for this boys future
will depend upon his coming to
Arizona to live.
If some family in Phoenix will
take this boy in and permit him
to make his home with the family,
a real service can be rendered a
worthy boy.
This is not charity. The boy
comes from a good Chicago family,
and his family wishes to pay for
the boys upkeep.
If someone in Phoenix is kind
enough to want to share a good
Christian home with such a boy,
please contact the Phoenix Urban
League. ~
