NewsChildren's Trust in hands of Dade voters The Children's Trust has collected about $400 million in property taxes since 2003, but the group's influence is best seen through the small details, like the six African drums, small wardrobe of karate uniforms and hula hoops it funded for a program in Goulds. "We get to do stuff that most of the other after-school cares can't do," wrote Alejandra Pinkney, a fourth-grader who is one of 50 children enrolled in the free program run by Urgent Inc. The Trust was approved in 2002 as a five-year experiment. Unless voters make it permanent this summer, it will disappear. Many of the programs that depend on its funding -- child-care like Urgent, health teams in public schools, the 211 hot line for parent counseling -- likely would disappear with it.
