You make a difference.
A $500 donation provides outpatient therapy for a month for a child or adolescent who experiences maltreatment.
“Maltreatment can cause victims to feel isolation, fear, and distrust, which can translate into lifelong psychological consequences that can manifest as educational difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and trouble forming and maintaining relationships.”
