At Hope for Children, we believe that all children have a right to be safe and feel secure in their homes and with the people that care for them. Unfortunately, not all children are safe, and sometimes the very same people they look to for security are the people that abuse these children and take advantage of their trust and love.

Caring for children traumatized by abuse takes an emotional toll on caregivers. Fighting to protect them from further abuse can also take an enormous financial toll. Caregivers who want to keep children safe and help them heal do not always have the resources necessary to protect them and pursue justice on their behalf. At Hope for Children, we provide financial assistance to help restore a safe home environment for children so they can heal.
