Every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and supported.
Yet, for many children in our community, safety has been compromised by experiences of abuse or trauma. At the CAC, we are here to help these children heal, find hope, and reclaim their futures.
The CAC serves as a beacon of light during some of the darkest moments in a child’s life. Our team works tirelessly to provide a safe space where children can share their experiences, receive compassionate care, and access the resources they need. Through forensic interviews, medical examinations, family advocacy, and trauma-informed counseling, we ensure that no child walks this path alone.
But we cannot do this without you.
Your generosity makes it possible for the CAC to continue serving children and families who need us most. Whether it’s funding a critical medical exam, forensic interviews, supporting counseling sessions, or providing resources to train our multidisciplinary team, your gift directly impacts lives. Last year alone, we provided support to 310 children—children who now have the chance to heal because of people like you.
We are asking you to join us in this vital mission. Your donation will help us:
- Expand our therapy services to meet increasing demand.
- Upgrade equipment to ensure the best care during forensic interviews.
- Train more professionals in trauma-informed practices.
Your gift of $100, $500, $1,000, or any amount you feel inspired to give will directly support children in their journey toward healing. Together, we can be the difference between a child feeling forgotten and a child finding hope.
