How Your Donation Helps
While some essential needs are met through state funding, donations allow us to provide vital services to truly heal children and allow them to reach their potential.
Programs and services beyond basic needs, such as recreational and equine therapy for residents as well as outings and celebrations, allow children to thrive and heal.
Donations support young adults in our Transitional Living Program. 18- to 21-year olds can learn life skills before living independently.
