Health Pandemic
≠
Abuse pandemic
As COVID_19 continues to unfold, Kids Inspire Difference wants to thank you for standing with us.
The Childhelp hotline has seen an increase of calls now that more children are out of school and at home with their abusers. In addition, youth have less access to outside support and services such as teachers and counselors. This situation tends to raise the anxiety and stress for many, causing the predator to become more aggravated and leave the child feeling more isolated.
We cannot allow this health pandemic to become an abuse pandemic.
When times are tough, children become even more vulnerable which means they need your help more than ever before. They need YOU.
If you are concerned about a child or are a youth in crisis, Childhelp's professional counselors are here to listen. Call, text or online chat 24/7 at 1-800-422-4453 or childhelphotline.org.
UPDATE: we have raise over $8,000 and funded over 1600 calls on Childhelp's National hotline. Thank you for everyone's support!
Neglect: Not being able to properly provide basic necessities for a child including lack of food, water, attention, shelter, medical care or parental support and supervision.
Abuse: Whether its physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, your voice needs to be heard because we care about you. Please call or text 1(800)-422-4453 if you are experiencing any symptoms of abuse.
We have recently partnered with our first non-profit . . .
Childhelp is one of the largest nonprofits in the world fighting for the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. Now celebrating their 60th year of service, through their National Childhelp Abuse Hotline, Childhelp Advocacy Center, Childhelp Group Homes, and numerous prevention and treatment programs, Childhelp has impacted the lives of over 10 million children.

Every year, more than 6.6 million children are involved with Child Protection Agencies. These children are also 9 times more likely to engage in criminal activity. More than 80% of children who die due to child abuse have not even reached kindergarten. These statistics need to change. How many more children need to be reported before we do something about it? Let's prevent abuse one child at a time.
