Abused Women's Aid in Crisis (AWAIC)

Letter from Suzi

"It’s that time of year already and kids are getting ready to return to school. Many wonder what happens to schooling when kids come to AWAIC. Education is one of our top priorities for children staying in our shelter. School is often the only place where they have structure and some sense of normalcy in their lives. AWAIC works with the Anchorage School District’s Title 1 Child in Transition program to assist kids in getting back to their school of origin or another school if the parent feels it is necessary. AWAIC also works with schools to explain protective orders to ensure the child’s safety.

AWAIC has a children’s playroom for little ones and a Teen Room for those 10 and older. The Teen Room has computers for kids to do their homework and is a safe place where they can relax while in shelter. Books for all ages are available for kids to take that are donated by groups such as Delta Kappa Gamma and the Anchorage Public Library.

Our kids often come to shelter with very little and sometimes school supplies or homework get left behind. The Child in Transition program helps kids get back on track with their schooling, but they may still need basic supplies like pocket folders, colored pencils and backpacks. This month, please consider purchasing some school supplies off our Amazon Wishlist to donate to the kids. Thank you so much!"

Executive Director at AWAIC
