That woman you see pushing a shopping cart of belongings down by Second & Division?

Chances are she was abused, lived in poverty, or experienced some other

type of dysfunction growing up.

The wounds of childhood last a lifetime. Wounded children become

adults who struggle with relationships, depression, substance abuse

and homelessness.


At Vanessa Behan, we can help prevent those wounds. With safety, love and kindness, children learn they are worthy and are capable of great things.

We need your support so that we can change a child’s life and change our community.

Giving is down this year. We need to raise $50,000 by the end of this month to make up the shortfall. Your gift of $100 or $250 will make a difference.



With gratitude,

Amy Knapton Vega, MSW
Executive Director

Yes, I want to prevent child abuse.
