 * ====From 1980' to the late 1990's the amount of children abused have risen over 2million cases world wide====
 * ====Most Children that are abandoned as babies have mental illnesses, that families don't not want to deal with====
 * ====In 2008, 1740 thousand children died from abandonment or physical abuse====
 * ====Child abandonment can come in the form of a single parent home. When one parent leaves, it makes it very difficult for the other parent to emotionally and financially support their children. This is a form of abandonment because the children are not reviving the amounts of love and necessities need to well====

Many times, School is a safe haven for children that are being abused.
====Abuse can come in physical or mental states, and sometimes the mental abuse can be worse than the physical abuse\ ==== =ABOUT US=



 * ====Our charity is an organization for children who have either been abandoned or abused. We provide a safe place for these children to go. Also, we have professionally trained staff 24 hours a day for our children to talk to to. All information is completely confidential, unless it is incrimination information that must be filed to protect the welfare of future children. We also provide funding for these children to attend college and become successful in life.====
 * ====In 2006, 1:58 children in the United States were being abused or neglected. Our charity provides an opportunity for this rate to be lowered. Our goal is to stop child abuse and abandonment. We provide shelters for these children to come to and escape the abusive member of their family, or to be brought to when they are abandoned and have no where else to turn. No child should be scared to go home, or be living on the streets. Our goal is to stop this occurrence at all costs.====
 * ====This charity is located in numerous cities across the United States. However, our main business office is in Raleigh, North Carolina. All new comers to the organization can become a part of the charity at any office throughout the country, however all information is centrally located in a filing system in the main office. No office is better then another, they all offer the same amounts of care, love, protection, and rehabilitation. We also advertise and give presentations at community centers, churches, schools, and other large group locations throughout the country.====
 * ====This charity is meant to help children of all ages, from birth to 18 years of age. All of the children involved in our charity have in some way been victims of abuse/neglect and abandonment. We were formed, and love doing this job, because children should have the opportunity to build their own lives and become who they want to be. They should not have to spend their most memorable and mold-able years over coming obstacles of physical and emotional abuse. Also, they should not be neglected by their supposed loved ones. They deserve to be nurtured just like anyone else. Finally, all children should have a home. No one should be left behind and abandoned. This charity makes sure that children have all of these opportunities and grow up having a nice childhood and become successful adults.====
 * ===="The family is private. The abuse of it's children is not. Be a guardian angel and report child abuse or abandonment, it shouldn't hurt to be a child."====
