Invest In Better Childhoods
When we think of our childhood, fond memories of playing with friends in the neighborhood, riding bikes along quiet streets, or having an incredible birthday might come to mind. But for some children in our South Florida community, their youth is filled with neglect, pain, or even abuse. They’ve done nothing wrong, yet the hurt persists. They deserve childhoods like the ones we remember fondly. When they’re at one of the darkest points in their young lives—you can bring the light.
When you donate to kids, it makes all the difference. Cash donations support funding for our programs, but in-kind donations are valuable too and go right into a child’s hands. When you donate, it helps us better serve the community of Kids in Distress. Donate to children in need today whether you had a great childhood or know firsthand what our kids face.
Fund Brighter Futures
At KID, we believe that every child deserves a safe and loving place to call home. When that isn’t the case, it’s natural to want to find a way to donate to kids affected by a lack of care at home. Your financial contribution to KIDS funds proven programs that improve the lives of children across South Florida.
Thanks to our generous donors, children have opportunities to explore their interests while developing academic skills to last a lifetime. Your donation may fund our education programs, such as KID Preschool Plus or KID Aftercare and Summer Camp. Every dollar makes a difference when a child’s educational future is in question.
Financial contributions also give children stability and security when they need it most. Your donation can support our foster care program, which ensures children have temporary or long-term foster care while their families rebuild.
Donations can also give families the chance to build a supportive home for their children. Through our Family Strengthening programs, parents can receive the support they need to give their children the best. Your support funds internationally recognized programs like KID HOMEBUILDERS®, which provide intensive intervention to families with children in imminent danger of being removed from the household due to neglect.
When you donate to children, you do so to address the root causes, not just the effects. Your donation to KID increases vital access to mental health support. Our mental health programs provide family counseling services for children and their families to help them manage challenging situations like divorce, school adjustment issues, or anxiety.
Together, we get at the heart of the problems our children and families face.
