'Two things will happen at Homes of Hope this Christmas. Lives will be protected and the children will be showered with love – the love that the Christmas story tells.
'We've cared for 150 children so far – and your donation will help to ensure that we can help the next 150.”
According to Homes of Hope, critical child abuse and neglect is the reality for an average of one in four children in Tauranga.
There are two children suffering abuse every hour – an average of 20 per cent of the child population.
'These precious, hurting children need our help,” says Hilary. 'If unsupported they could become hurting adults, and hurting adults create more hurting children – unless we help.”
Begin a monthly donation and become part of the Homes of Hope Family today. Automatic Payments can be set up via 01-0434-0258543-00.
