Dear Friend and Partner,

Thank you so much for the valuable and generous support you provide for our work. Your partnership has been a tremendous blessing and a valuable asset in sustaining and expanding our efforts nationally as well as locally.

We have a strong national appeal because of our telephone support systems. Our reputation, however, has been established over many years through direct service to parents, children, doctors, therapists and other healthcare professionals in the greater Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania communities.

We fill a critical gap in child support and protective services. As a result of our proactive effort, national and international public awareness has been raised, legal systems protecting children’s rights nationally and internationally have been impacted through formal policy, and countless children, parents and professionals have been assisted and protected.

The demand for professional assistance to abused children has increased so significantly that our ability to meet their critical needs would not be possible without your sustained partnership.
