The problem of child abuse is not insurmountable.

Every day we see children who have lived through terrible abuse or who have witnessed terrifying violence, reclaim their childhood. We rely on the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations  to provide our critical services -- at no charge to children and families in need.​

Because of our supporters, we are able to help child abuse victims heal, and help law enforcement take dangerous child predators off of our streets!
