Child abuse often happens at the hands of someone a child knows and trusts.
Thatโ€™s why our childrenโ€™s advocacy center exists: to provide a safe, neutral place for children to share their stories and begin healing.

โ€ข High school student who turns compassion into action
โ€ข Known for seeing a need and stepping up
โ€ข Daughter of Special Victims Unit Detective Penny Smith, a valued member of our Multidisciplinary Team

With the help of her employer, Maurices, Emma organized a Stuffed Animal Drive to ensure that when children arrive at our center scared and unsure, they receive more than a toy; they receive comfort, safety, and something to hold onto during a difficult moment.

Thank you, Emma and Maurices, for helping bring comfort when itโ€™s needed most. ๐Ÿ’™
