“Protection Children † Promoting Healing”
“Children are our future.

They are our hope.
They are the answers to our prayers.
No child should have to endure
the pain of abuse and neglect.
The reality is, it does happen.

It is the job of each person to see that it happens less and to
help those who suffer from its pain.”
