Family Assistance Fund

Help with the costs of protecting a child, from therapy and legal fees to gas money for appointments.

Part of our Offer pillar

What the fund can help with

  • Trauma-informed therapy

    Sessions for the child, and support for the caregiver.

  • Legal needs

    Costs connected to protective orders and court proceedings.

  • Transportation

    Getting to interviews, appointments and court dates.

  • Other critical needs

    Expenses that stand between a family and their child’s safety.
