There are children who, by the age of five or six, have suffered more hurt and loss than most people will know in a lifetime.
Studies show that introducing consistent adult support into their lives at an early age is the best chance to protect these children from further harm.
With someone to look up to, count on, talk to, help them with school work, comfort them, and align them with goals for the future, with someone who will be there for the long haul, these children will thrive.
What they need is a Friend.
