Show a Child in Need that Someone Cares


It’s 6:30 a.m., and 8-year-old Isabella is awakened by a nudge from her 10-year-old sister. They tiptoe to the kitchen and search through nearly-bare cupboards for a bit of food to quiet their grumbling stomachs. Both are careful not to disturb their sleeping mother, who stumbled through the front door sometime in the middle of the night. They’ve learned to stick together and take care of themselves.


Stories like Isabella’s are more common than you might think. In fact, the CDC estimates that 1 in 7 children experienced abuse or neglect in the last year.

An even higher number — about 1 in 6 children — live in poverty.
