A Campaign That Can't Wait

He likes to colour, loves to read, swim in the pool or build a fort in the woods. But just three years ago, Margaret and Ed’s newest grandchild was living a life of desperation with his cocaine-addicted mother and abusive boyfriend. He still has nightmares that she may come back to get him. But through the Society’s programs and professional support, its partnerships with the community and the love surrounding him in his new home, he has a new chance at life.

There are too many children like him in our community. And that’s what this Campaign is all about – giving children in desperate situations an opportunity not just to survive but to thrive.

To meet the growing needs in this community, we have undertaken the "Our Kids. All They Have is You." Campaign. With the support of this initiative, the CAS of Hamilton has moved into a new home at the Poscor Centre for Children at Risk – almost tripling its capacity to help kids, while costing less than constructing a new facility or leasing. Now that we have the appropriate infrastructure, we are looking to expand programs and partnerships.

Our Campaign goal is $3 million. Please support this effort –
we need your help so that we can continue to give the most vulnerable children and families every opportunity to flourish.
