Over the past year, many of the children and families we serve continue to be among the most adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic. They struggle daily with increased mental and behavioral health issues, food and housing insecurity, and reduced community supports. These stressors often hinder their ability to overcome trauma, but despite those challenges, 71% of the children we serve have seen a significant and measurable reduction in depression, anxiety, and suicidality because of programs that your donations directly support.
This holiday season, we will carefully use funds entrusted to us to help families like Stefan’s with necessities such as rent, food, and clothing, as well as essential behavioral health services that ensure children and teens can thrive in school and at home.
