Some kids in San Diego have no one in their corner. No safe place to sleep. No one to call in a crisis. No family fighting for them. For these kids, our programs aren't just a resource. They're everything.
We need your support to save our mental health, foster care, adoption and human trafficking prevention services.
Right now, everything is at risk. Shifts in government funding are threatening the services that keep vulnerable youth safe. Programs like mental health support, foster care, adoption, and human trafficking prevention are not optional; they're necessary. Without them, kids who are already carrying the heaviest burdens could go alone.
You can change that. One gift puts you in their corner in the moments that matter most. Your commitment keeps our doors open for every child who needs us. Will you be in their corner?
Programs You Can Support
Mental Health Support
Changing the trajectory of a young life
We work with young people who are facing serious mental health challenges, often tied to trauma, instability and crisis situations. What makes our approach different is that we stay with youth over time, helping them build coping skills, confidence and a stronger sense of stability for the future.
- $75 → Provides one counseling session for a youth in crisis.
- $300 → Supports ongoing therapy for a month for X youth.
- $1,000 → Funds crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for X youth.
- $5,000 → Provides mental health care for X youth for a year.
Foster Care Services
Giving a child a chance to feel safe again
We do foster care differently. We provide safe, stable homes for children who have experienced abuse and neglect and we are with our foster parents every step of the way. Our foster programs focus on trauma-informed care, helping youth rebuild trust and stability.
- $50 → Provides essential supplies (clothing, hygiene items) for a foster youth
- $150 → Supports training and background checks for a new foster parent
- $500 → Helps provide trauma-informed counseling for a child in care for x months
- $1,000 → Supports placement stability for a youth in a safe foster home, like family support services including in home visits and parenting guidance
Adoption Supportive Services
Offering a lifetime of support
We help children and families navigate the adoption process, providing guidance, support and resources to help create stable and permanent homes. We support families before, during and after placement, helping ensure smoother transitions and long-term success.
Human Trafficking Prevention
Making the difference between exploitation and escape
We work with young people who are at risk of or impacted by human trafficking, often driven by homelessness, instability and past trauma. We provide prevention education, outreach, crisis response and safe housing to help youth escape exploitation and begin to recover.
- $75 → Funds outreach and prevention education for one vulnerable youth before exploitation happens
- $250 → Provides a full intake assessment, safety planning and connection to immediate support services for a youth escaping trafficking
- $750 → Supports 2 months of specialized trauma counseling sessions
- $2,500 → Helps provide safe housing and wraparound services for a survivor escaping exploitation for a month.
