When kids visit Children’s Advocacy Center-Hope House for the first time, it is usually because they’ve been hurt by someone they trust—resulting in an undeserved sense of shame. Your gift of a brand new teddy bear affirms their goodness. It provides them a choice they have control over. And it gives them comfort.
We need teddy bears that are 8" high or more--and brand new. In addition to teddy bears, the center is also in need of gift cards for stores like Target, Walmart, or Office Depot.
Contact Thomas Mitchell at thomas@cachopehouse.org or 985-892-3885 Ext. 3 to find out about having a collection drive at your school, community organization, or place of worship. He can provide guidance on the center’s most pressing current needs. Every gift helps a hurt child find safety and healing.
