Child Abuse Prevention Month - NYCC Fundraiser

I am honored to be raising funds for The New York Center for Children (NYCC) for the third consecutive year, supporting an organization whose mission is deeply personal to me.

As children, my sisters and I experienced the profound loss of our father. Navigating such a formative stage of life without him was an immense challenge to my entire family, and we relied heavily on specialized therapeutic services to help us process our grief and trauma. The support we received was invaluable, shaping our ability to heal and move forward. I am forever grateful for these resources, and it is this gratitude that drives my commitment to ensuring that other children facing trauma have access to the same critical care.

To give back, I joined NYCC as a Junior Board Member, working to support children in need of trauma-focused therapy especially those who might otherwise struggle to access or afford such services. I firmly believe that every child deserves the opportunity to heal in a safe and supportive environment.

For 30 years, NYCC has provided bilingual, trauma-focused, comprehensive evaluation and therapy services to victims of child abuse and their families, for as long as their healing requires. NYCC's services to children and families are free of charge and are made possible by the generous support of our community. NYCC also delivers groundbreaking training programs on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of child abuse. More than 20,000 medical students, mental health professionals, childcare workers, doctors, nurses and first responders worldwide have attended NYCC's training programs.

Your contribution will directly support NYCC’s mission, helping children process trauma, build resilience, and reclaim their futures. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most. I am deeply grateful for your support.
