When I first joined Doorways in 2009, as Doorways’ first Child Mental Health Specialist, I worked one-on-one with children in our shelter. I met many children like Liam: children who are more resilient than any child should have to be, and like all kids, also curious, smart, playful, and looking for connection. With your support, Doorways gives kids like Liam a safe place to live, play, and grow.
In recent years, the number of survivors we sheltered in safehousing has more than doubled, from 32 adults and 26 children in 2018 to 64 adults and 71 children last year. That means that more than half of the clients who found safe harbor in Doorways’ safehousing were children. And in just the past few months, half of the children we served were infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
Please, help us continue this important work. You can make your gift online at www.doorwaysva.org/hope, or donate by mail to Doorways at P.O. Box 100185, Arlington, VA 22210. To help Doorways keep pace with increasing needs, our generous donors, Judy and Kevin Moak, will match your gift, $1 for $1, up to $35,000. Donate now to double the hope, safe harbor, and healing you give!
This year and beyond, thank you for all you give.
Many thanks, muchas gracias,
Diana Ortiz, M.Ed., LPC
President and CEO
