Learn more about your impact

The Arizona Child and Adolescent Survivor Initiative provides support to children whose lives have been devastated by the homicide of a parent/primary caregiver. Thousands of children every year lose a parent to intimate partner homicide. Your support plays an integral role in helping children cope with the traumatic death of a parent/caregiver. When you give to the Arizona Child and Adolescent Survivor Initiative, you help children heal by providing them opportunities to explore their interests, strengthen their support systems, and meaningfully embed themselves in their community, all of which are instrumental in fostering resilience. When child survivors engage in multifaceted community support, they have greater capacity to experience hope for their future, pursue goals and interests, and find meaning in their lives.
