All children should encounter a world of opportunity. A world where they can reach their full potential and lead happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives. But often, circumstances beyond their control intervene, and they find themselves in situations challenging their ability to achieve. Poverty, housing instability, physical or mental illness, parental abuse and neglect, and abandonment are some of the severe challenges facing children throughout our communities.
Children of every age, race, and income level are affected by these challenges. These obstacles do not discriminate and take an enormous toll on every child, parent, and family member that they touch. They reduce our productivity, expend our resources, and impact the long-term health of the entire community. And, the number of children impacted by these conditions is growing at an unprecedented rate.
