⁣Leaving an abusive situation is often sudden and unexpected. Most of the children we serve come to us with little more than the clothes on their backs. Losing their home, belongings, and sense of stability can be just as traumatic as the abuse itself.⁣

Our 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 was created to help children rebuild during these critical moments.⁣

Each child, or their caregiver, completes a Wish Tag that includes an immediate need and a special wish.⁣

Your support provides more than necessities. It gives comfort, dignity, stability, and hope to children facing some of the hardest moments of their lives. Please help us show these children that there are people who care about their well-being.⁣
