Children who are experiencing emotional instability, often due to family trauma. For what ever reason, these children are unable to cope with their current living conditions. A Place for Grace is not a correctional institution. It is an Independent – 24 hour Basic Child Care facility that provides specialized help for those children who need another chance in life. Boys and girls, ages newborn to 13, are considered without regard to race, religion, or ethnic origin. References are usually made through friends, family members, schools, physicians or psychologists along with other children’s agencies. A Place for Grace is operated entirely through personal income, contributions, and fund raising events. A Place for Grace receives no State or Federal funding.
