A sincere thank you to everyone who supported hope and healing this holiday season. Due to your generosity and compassion, we have exceeded our goal of $10,000 and 400 Hope & Healing Comfort Kits for children receiving services through the Child Advocacy Center! Funds exceeding our $10,000 goal will directly support children and family programs provided through the Suzanne Gresham Center.
This holiday season, give hope and healing to children by making a donation to support Meridian’s Child Advocacy Center Comfort Kit project. Our Child Advocacy Center, located at the Suzanne Gresham Center, works with children who have experienced trauma, whether it be from any form of abuse (i.e., physical, sexual, or emotional), neglect, substance use, domestic violence, or other harmful situations. Since its inception, our center served over 2,000 children in need.
The kit includes a blanket, stuffed animal, and other age-appropriate activity items to help the healing begin. Treatment goes far beyond our initial meeting with the child, however, the offer of immediate comfort makes a huge difference towards the direction of positive healing.
I am donating because I am able to. I see the importance in helping children through what they have. My daughter is now 3 years old and I am a single mother and I see everyday how living without her father affects her and how hard it is to just be okay each day knowing that your child misses her father and you can only do what you can do.
Thank you! What a beautiful display and service to the community!
Incredible light show!

appreciate what Meridian is doing to help these children. I believe in giving and generosity and it gives me more satisfaction than anything else we need to do what we can to help the communities in need. Giving to the organization that I work for is even more rewarding experience
I can relate to some of these children having had my own childhood problems this really hits home for me.

I appreciate organization’s such as Meridian Health and the people behind the scenes that put in the hard work to help our children have hope and a brighter future. Even though I have not endured what these children have been through, I can only imagine their pain. With cheerful and greatful heart to everyone involved, we are all blessed.
