How To Help
- The most important thing you can do is add your name
to The
Wall (NOTE: currently our WALL is down and out of order due to business support servers)
If you are a supporter in spirit we appreciate that.
If you are a SURVIVOR this is a way for you to tell the world or even tell your story anonymously or otherwise.
If you are currently a victim this can be a first step towards help & healing. - The second most helpful way you can support is to
take a copy of our
Day of the Child "Supporter" logo and add it to your website. Use it to provide a link to this site. - Check for a local "ambassador" on our local listing. If there is not an ambassador in your local area, perhaps you would like to email us and become a local volunteer.
- Help to get the word out. Email friends and coworkers and send them to this site.
- Use the power of our Radio database to contact your local Radio Stations (Country & Adult Contemporary) and request our new anthem, "SURVIVOR". Also, please update us with any email addresses you can find that aren't already displayed; then email us and let us know so we can update the database for everyone.
- Join with us in supporting a nationwide April release of a new child abuse anthem designed to raise awareness for Survivors of child abuse.
- What else can you do? Some suggestions:

you would like them to participate in Day of the Child this April (child
