Every gift doubled through Dec. 31

Fund 27 Kids in 2027

Close out 2026 by funding the first 27 children who walk through our doors in 2027.

Last year, 424 Ellis County children told their story in a forensic interview, often on one of the hardest days of their lives. It costs about $4,100 to fully serve one child. Help us raise $110,000 so the first 27 children of the new year are met with care from day one.

When a child walks through our doors

When abuse is reported, a child doesn't have to tell their story over and over to police, caseworkers and strangers. At ECCAC, they tell it once, to a trained forensic interviewer, in a space built to feel safe. From that first visit, an advocate walks alongside the family, therapists help the child heal, and law enforcement, CPS, prosecutors and medical partners work as one team around them.
