It’s the day in which we focus not on ourselves, but on our community. The day in which we rally support for our cause: a community without child abuse.
Each holiday season, we decorate our walls, and ensure our telephone hotline is well staffed — because it’s the time of year we receive the most crisis calls. We turn our Playroom into a toy store to ensure every family can afford to have a festive and joyous holiday season, helping to reduce the stress during this already stressful time of year. The time of year we ask for your support.
– Victims of child abuse are more likely to have trouble in school, be arrested + lose their jobs
– Victims of child abuse are more likely to have life-long health issues + die prematurely
– Victims of child abuse are more likely to abuse their own children
– Child abuse devastates not just the child, but the family and community — and degrades our society
– A report of child abuse is made every 10 minutes in the Bay Area
– Child abuse can be prevented
