Help Us, Help Them
Pat’s Place Child Advocacy Center relies on the generosity of our friends and neighbors to provide children the tools they need to start on a successful path to recovery from abuse and trauma. Thanks to generous organizations and individuals like you, Pat’s Place is able to provide all direct services at no cost to a child’s family. That means that cost never gets in the way of the healing services that children need, whether they visit the center once for their initial investigation of abuse, or every week for a year of therapy.
You make it possible for children and families to get the vital support and resources they need to heal. Thank you for making a profound difference in the lives of children in our community.
