Countless children impacted by crime, abuse, and neglect face barriers that steal their joy, hope, and innocence.
We’re on a mission to change that, one child at a time. Will you join us?
Through experiences and opportunities, we give children impacted by crime, abuse, and neglect the support they need to rediscover joy and hope. We help them heal, build resilience, and know they are not alone.
Because every child deserves a chance to reclaim their childhood and see brighter tomorrows.
In 2024, we provided over $269,000 in support answering 962 General Referral requests, offering vital experiences and opportunities.
Our Holiday Store brightened the holidays for more than 1,300 children providing them with a new winter coat, pj’s, a blanket and gifts!
Plus, we funded monthly outings for children of incarcerated parents and survivors of trafficking, creating moments of connection, joy, and healing.

One Child At A Time
Stories of Impact
Emma’s Story
When Emma was younger, her parents struggled with alcohol addiction and often turned their anger on each other. Their repeated incarcerations for theft meant Emma was placed in foster care multiple times. The violence she witnessed and the pain of being separated from her family are now surfacing as self-harm, dishonesty, and signs of PTSD. Emma has begun counseling to work through these challenges.
But, because of Angels in the Outfield, Emma attends a weekly art class, giving her a safe space to heal and express herself.
Isabelle’s Story
At just 16 months old, Isabelle has already survived two near-death experiences. In February 2023, due to neglect and substance use in her home, she suffered severe third-degree burns down her left leg, requiring emergency skin grafts and weeks in intensive care. Later, in October, she overdosed on fentanyl and methamphetamine and only survived because EMS administered NARCAN. Isabelle will need ongoing therapy and care to help her heal both physically and emotionally.
But, because of Angels in the Outfield, Isabelle’s resource mom can bring her to swim therapy, supporting her recovery and growth.
Jordan’s story
Jordan was just five when he went to live with his aunt. Before that, he endured neglect, physical abuse, and unspeakable sexual trauma, witnessing his father tie up his mother, cut her, and rape her. Born with drugs in his system to parents in active addiction, Jordan still struggles with night terrors and the weight of his early experiences, even after four years in a safe and loving home.
But, because of Angels in the Outfield, Jordan participates in an after-school program where he finds structure, safety, and the chance to be a kid again.
