Childhood should be filled with consistent love and a sense of safety. Every child deserves to trust that the adults in their life will provide them with their needs. But for kids like Elon who come from neglectful homes, things like food, education, love, and safety were not regularly provided.
Elon does not know what it is like to have an adult who puts his needs above their own. His family’s world revolved around drugs, not him. Elon never had a consistent place to call home. This made it impossible for him to get the care, love, and education he needed and deserved.
With school starting August 17, you can provide Elon and kids like him with a place to stay where their needs come first. Your gift of $60 can give a child a safe and stable place to stay.
Because of the trauma he has endured, Elon doesn’t believe his needs matter. He was second best to the drugs his family loved more. He felt invisible and unloved - believing he was unworthy and would never be enough.
But you can change Elon’s story.
Your $60 donation provides a day of care with consistent safety, shelter, education, connection and therapy for Elon and kids like him. Elon will experience stability and healing. He will have the opportunity to learn and build healthy, new relationships in a safe and loving environment. You can show Elon that he is loved unconditionally and his needs matter.
Your gift can be the start of care, connection and safety for Elon. It all starts with your gift of $60.
Give one child a day of critical care and connection this school year!
Your $60 gift by August 17 can be the start of care, connection, safety, and education for Elon.
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.
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?
