HOUSTON’S TRUE CHAMPIONS

Every Child Deserves Safety and Care

During Child Abuse Prevention Month, communities across the nation come together to shine a light on the importance of child safety and to stand up for the children who have experienced abuse and neglect. The blue ribbonand the sea of blue you’ll see throughout the month symbolizes hope, the innocence of childhood and protection. Wearing, sharing and celebrating blue throughout April reminds others of the critical need to protect children and uplift families.

 

Every 47 seconds, a child in the U.S. is abused or neglected.

1 in 7 children experience abuse or neglect each year.
5,408 children were victims of abuse or neglect in Harris County in 2025.
 
 
Join the 500 Hearts Challenge

 

This April, we’re inviting our community to fill our virtual wall with 500 hearts, each representing someone who believes every child deserves safety and love. When you donate, your name (or tribute) will appear on our giving page - a symbol of the compassion and commitment that fuels our mission.
 
Help us reach 500 hearts. Help us change 500 futures.

Your Gift Makes Healing Possible
