Having worked directly with survivors, parents and caregivers of child abuse for more than 15 years, I know the importance of an immediate and trauma informed response following the disclosure of abuse. I have seen the difference made for children who were believed, heard, and supported.

I have the honor of serving on the Board of Trustees for the Friends of Children's Cove, which provides leadership guidance and promotes community advocacy and philanthropic efforts for Children’s Cove. Funding provided from the Friends of Children's Cove supports a timely response to children and families served at Children’s Cove for safety, transportation, basic needs, healing activities and programs that fall outside of county, state and federal lines.

It is the donations from our community which can make the difference if a family is able to have a safe place to sleep, accessible childcare, or healthy and nourishing meals in their lives after experiencing trauma.

I have spoken with so many people who want to know what they can do to help support our most vulnerable, and I can confidently say that by supporting the Friends of Children's Cove you are contributing directly to the vision of a community where children are free of abuse, have a voice that is heard, and where they enjoy healthy, safe, and empowered lives.

Please make a donation which feels right to you today.
