You can help make history, along with thousands of schools and businesses whom we are asking to join in sharing this nationwide message. In local areas, we are asking ambassadors and local communities to participate in this year-long event. to donate your resources to hurting children and adult survivors. Celebrating 18 years of helping hurting children, the Day of the Child vision is to raise awareness and promote healing for victims and survivors of child abuse thereby influencing the future hope for children of the world. Change a child's life today by adding your name to "The Wall" and then get involved in your own local community using the resources we provide for you on this site. Do you care?... What if you could free little Sarah from a dark closet with one loving turn of a doorknob? What if you could rescue young Bobby from a "lifetime" of cowering before "the belt"?

This season, our goals continue to be: to demonstrate the importance and influence of children to raise awareness by sponsoring media events that focus the world's attention on the issues of child abuse. to provide an anonymous means for victims and survivors to acknowledge their abuse, share their stories and pursue healing. to help provide the means for local child abuse agencies throughout North America to raise funds. The unique aspect of Day of the Child is that all event donations are collected directly by the specified local and national child abuse agencies and not by Day of the Child. to provide resources for local government organizations and agencies such as Police and Fire departments to raise the awareness of local citizens. to empower caring hearts the world over via a grass-roots effort to accomplish what no single organization could possibly achieve on its own.
