“Looking back on our time at CRH, for the first time in [me and my sister's] lives we felt truly safe. The staff helped us feel accepted and secure. Most importantly, we were living without fear and just having fun as kids again.”
On May 3, 2018 we asked the Sacramento community to step up BIG and join us in raising much-needed funds for campus-wide improvements at the Children’s Receiving Home of Sacramento (CRH).
We asked, and you answered in a BIG way! Together, you donated more than $50,000 and made some long-needed projects to spiff up and beautify our 6-acre campus a reality.
This month has been busy with construction crews tackling things like shower and counter top upgrades, laminate flooring installation, and more.
When I first came to the Children’s Receiving Home (CRH) as a fifteen-year-old runaway I was very lost and confused. I had been self-harming and had tried to commit suicide. I really wasn’t sure what the world had left for me.
How many days does it take to change a life? In the case of four-year-old Mason*, it was 251 days.
Two-hundred and fifty-one days of therapy, empathy, and helping him feel safe. Two-hundred and fifty-one days of nurturing and care by skilled teachers and clinicians. Two-hundred and fifty-one days in our Sprouts: Trauma-Informed Care Preschool.
