There is a scared six-year-old girl named Lucy who needs your help. Lucy had to be removed from her home due to abuse and neglect. She has never experienced true love or safety. Lucy struggles to believe anyone will ever truly care for her.
You can change her story. You can help Lucy receive safe and consistent care for the first time in her life.
With your $60 donation, you can give Lucy critical care and connection as she transitions into the new routine of the school year. You’ll ensure that she has the care and guidance she needs to make this big adjustment.
Let me tell you more about Lucy and how your gift will give this sweet little girl the safety, care and connection she deserves.
Lucy has survived ongoing neglect and abuse by her family. Her relationship with her parents was defined by fear and suffering. Lucy was removed from their care and has since lived in six different homes. Any time Lucy began to feel a sense of stability and belonging, she was uprooted again.
Lucy’s trauma lingers in her mind. She doesn’t know how to cope with her pain. It’s hard for her to fall asleep at night. Her angry and anxious outbursts can get the best of her. Lucy longs to know true safety and to feel fully known and loved.
Your gift by September 17 can help more kids like Lucy. Your $60 donation can give a child a day of care with food, therapy, education and a safe and stable place as they transition into the school year.
Lucy believes that everything is her fault and that she’s not worthy of love. She doesn’t believe that anything good will last and just wants the pain to go away.
Your gift by September 17 will give Lucy and more children like her a chance to finally feel loved and experience healthy connection after living in abuse and brokenness for so long!
You’ll be helping Lucy process her relationship-based trauma with safe, trusting adults in therapy, social spaces and school. That’s the most effective approach to trauma healing. When true healing has begun, education becomes more effective.
Lucy is weary from constantly moving and not knowing what the future holds. She struggles to believe anything will ever change and does not believe she is worthy of anything better. Her young heart craves love that is real, safe and constant.
Will you show Lucy that her worth is not defined by what has been done to her, but in her identity as God’s precious child? Remember: Every $60 you give by September 17 will provide a day of critical care and connection for kids in desperate need, like Lucy.
What an amazing gift you can give!
I know you believe Lucy deserves to be loved unconditionally and given the opportunity to experience healing, hope, and happiness after all she has endured.
Will you help Lucy receive consistent and safe care during her transition into the school year? Please send in a $60 gift for her care and safety by September 17.
Lisa has never known the comfort of a steady home. Shuffled from place to place, she lived in a constant state of fear, with no one to rely on and no one to look after her needs. She felt invisible – believing she didn’t matter.
But you can change Lisa’s story.
Your gift of $30 can help Lisa feel safe and wanted. To give her and other kids like her a “day off” from worry and a “day on” for good, old-fashioned fun. Off-campus outings can also introduce children from hard places to new hobbies and help prepare them to return to community life.
Your gift by June 1 can be the start of replacing Lisa’s painful past with joyful moments. It all starts with your gift of $30.
Will you help Lisa know the fun of being a kid with your gift of $30 today?
With your $60 donation, you can give Lucy critical care and connection as she transitions into the new routine of the school year.
Give one child a day of critical care and connection this school year!
ABOUT CCHO
Christian Children's Home of Ohio (CCHO) is a local nonprofit organization that has provided opportunities for donors like you to help abused and neglected children for more than 50 years. Based in Wooster, OH and serving all of Ohio – including Wayne County, Summit County, Stark County, Cuyahoga County, Franklin County and the surrounding areas – CCHO is a safe place for kids who have suffered extreme forms of physical abuse, sexual abuse and emotional abuse, as well as survivors of sex trafficking. Initially licensed as a foster care/group home for children, CCHO has four cottages on its campus that are home to as many as 46 kids, ages 6-17, who have often been abused by parents or other people they trust. During their time with this faith-based charity in Ohio, children learn the tools they need to overcome the trauma they've experienced through various forms of therapeutic approaches (including recreational therapy, music therapy and equine therapy) as well as social, spiritual and educational opportunities designed to aid the child with the healing process, model for them how a healthy family functions, develop coping and life skills, and introduce them to Jesus Christ.
