Merry Christmas!
I want to share a story with you of how HOPE is reborn 
here  at Children First. 

David came to us as a teenage boy struggling with the issues that 
often come with being in middle school.  

He only saw the negative things in life.  

With the help of his counselor, his outlook and thought 
patterns began to change.  

After much progress, his counselor asked, 
"How has counseling helped you?"  

He responded by laying out this wonderfully optimistic 
and hope-filled sand tray. 


The happiness he is moving toward is referenced by the sun and rainbow at the end of the fence lined pathway.   He is now on the right path!

As with David, counselors here at Children First help children of all ages discover HOPE in the midst of their challenges.

  Considering that approximately 75% have been abused, neglected, or have experienced family violence, the challenges they face are extremely difficult.

We cannot do this important work, without th
help of donors like you. 


You may wonder how your donations help.

$25 = Art Therapy Supplies for up to SIX children

$50 = Five Parenting Classes
 
$100 = sturdy, specialized Play Therapy Toys
 
$250 = Emotional Healing for a Child, (10 sessions)

$500 = Healing Therapy for TWO precious Children
 
$1,000 = a Full Course of Therapy for FOUR Families

If you would like to help others like David, your tax deductible 
gift can be made online.

Please consider making a year-end  tax de ductible donation.  A NEW YEAR that includes counseling or play therapy can bring NEW HOPE in a child that needs emotional healing!


Happy Holidays to you and 
your loved ones!
