Join the HCOC for the upcoming ribbon cutting for Valley Haven, Inc.
Valley Haven is under construction to serve as the only Emergency Children’s Shelter, in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, for abused, neglected and abandoned children that Child Protective Services have removed from their homes. Once construction has finalized, Valley Haven will be operational and will work to end conditions that seemingly perpetuate never-ending cycles of child abuse and neglect by providing a properly equipped 32 bed home-like facility, with a highly trained staff to house and execute this kind of effort. Each child will be provided with their own individual bed, armoire, cozy bedroom, toiletries and clothing all easing their traumatic experience. At Valley Haven, our goal is to stop the cycle of abuse so abused children can heal and not pass on to their children the abuse they received from their parents. By showing and teaching appropriate ways to trust and love each other, the children at Valley Haven will feel safe, begin to heal, and look at their future in a positive way. Our children deserve the chance to grow into loving, caring, and happy adults that have had the opportunity to heal from this very traumatic time in their lives.
The event will take place on Thursday, April 27th from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
