For an abused and neglected child, Thanksgiving is important. You see, for many of the kids at CCHO, Thanksgiving used to be ‘just another day with no food on the table.’
But you can change that – and it starts with food. You can provide an entire day of food for just $8.97 this Thanksgiving!
Dahlia has gone hungry too many times to count. Her parents withheld food as punishment whenever she made a mistake. Dahlia grew up afraid—afraid that even the smallest misstep would leave her without a meal. Now, she struggles to trust that anyone will consistently provide for her most basic needs, like food and safety.
But a child who gets the food she needs feels safe. Because she knows someone loves her enough to give her a day of good food. And you can do that for Dahlia for just $8.97!
Your gift will help Dahlia be safe and feel safe on Thanksgiving. Instead of feeling hungry, scared and lonely. Maybe for the first time ever.
Give a meal to a child by Thanksgiving!
ABOUT CCHO
Christian Children's Home of Ohio (CCHO) is a local nonprofit organization that has provided opportunities for donors like you to help abused and neglected children for more than 50 years. Based in Wooster, OH and serving all of Ohio – including Wayne County, Summit County, Stark County, Cuyahoga County, Franklin County and the surrounding areas – CCHO is a safe place for kids who have suffered extreme forms of physical abuse, sexual abuse and emotional abuse, as well as survivors of sex trafficking. Initially licensed as a foster care/group home for children, CCHO has four cottages on its campus that are home to as many as 46 kids, ages 6-18, who have often been abused by parents or other people they trust. During their time with this faith-based charity in Ohio, children learn the tools they need to overcome the trauma they've experienced through various forms of therapeutic approaches (including recreational therapy, music therapy and equine therapy) as well as social, spiritual and educational opportunities designed to aid the child with the healing process, model for them how a healthy family functions, develop coping and life skills, and introduce them to Jesus Christ.
You can give Dahlia an entire day of food for only $8.97! Your gift by November 27 will make sure Dahlia gets the food she deserves this Thanksgiving.
Dahlia has gone hungry too many times to count. Her parents withheld food as punishment whenever she made a mistake. Dahlia grew up afraid—afraid that even the smallest misstep would leave her without a meal. Now, she struggles to trust that anyone will consistently provide for her most basic needs, like food and safety.
Dahlia’s abusers used food as an incentive for good behavior and punishment for bad. Over time, food became a symbol of fear and control—not comfort. Dahlia learned to binge and hoard food as a means of survival. No child should be afraid they won’t have anything to eat. Especially on Thanksgiving.
But you can change that. And all it takes is $8.97!
You can provide an entire day’s worth of food for only $8.97 for Dahlia and other kids like her who are used to going hungry at Thanksgiving.
Dahlia won’t have to worry about where that next meal will come from. Or if it will come at all. That’s how powerful your donation is!
