Invisible, Voiceless and Vulnerable.

The vast majority of children and families in the juvenile court and child welfare systems are extremely low income and disproportionately of color.

By quickly providing the missing resources that are urgently needed to:

improve difficult lives, achieve better futures, or remedy concerns

we truly can enhance lives and advance justice.

Improve Difficult Lives

By paying for emergency groceries and hygiene products after the parents became sick and their work hours were cut, you reduced stress and made it possible for a family to remain safe and stable while parents worked to get back on their feet. This support helped the family-especially the children- enormously.

Achieve Better Futures

By paying for summer school you have given a young man who fell behind in his studies during the pandemic, the chance to pull up his grades so he can join his classmates as a senior in the fall instead of repeating 11th grade. Research shows that when children are held back, they often drop out.

Remedy Concerns

By paying for a two month train pass, you made it possible for a mom to be able to reliably attend therapy and visit her child in foster care. Mom's dedication and hard work (coupled with OCH transportation assistance) helped them reunify much sooner than would otherwise have been possible.

Recent events show us that we must never take fundamental rights for granted, nor assume that government will adequately support

vulnerable low income families, especially women and children.

Together we stand with those who are being left behind.
