A Child's Christmas Wish for a Safe Tomorrow
Picture a child in your life who means the world to you—their laughter, their curiosity, their joy as they experience the magic of the holidays. Now imagine, for a moment, that this child is living in fear, facing unimaginable hardships, or longing for safety.
It’s a scenario no one wants to consider, yet for countless children across Oregon, it’s their reality. Every day, children endure abuse, neglect, and pain in silence, hoping for a lifeline that may never come without help. The reality for many children in Oregon is that…
37 children in Oregon are confirmed as victims of child abuse each day. (OCAS)
78% of children seen by child advocacy centers were 12 years old and younger. (OCAS)
$830,000 are saved when the abuse of one child is prevented. (OCAS)
In Oregon alone, thousands of children are reported as victims of abuse each year. These aren’t just statistics—they’re real children whose innocence has been stolen and whose futures hang in the balance. Many of them will go to bed tonight without the comfort of safety, hope, or love.
At Juliette’s House, we see the devastating effects of child abuse firsthand. But we also see something else: resilience, courage, and the possibility of healing when a child is given the care they deserve.
This holiday season, you have the power to make a difference. Through our We Choose Children campaign, we are working tirelessly to raise $130,000 to support the children who need us most. Every dollar brings us closer to protecting and healing a child, ensuring they have the safe tomorrow they so desperately deserve.
Here’s how your donation makes an impact:
$25 provides materials for a single play therapy session.
$50 helps fund trauma-focused counseling.
$100 ensures a child receives comprehensive care during a crisis.
$1,000 supports an entire intervention and healing plan for a child in need.
Your generosity directly funds the services that save lives, offering children a chance to heal, grow, and experience the joy of being a child once again.
Community Generosity in Action
We’ve seen the incredible impact of community support this holiday season:
LOAM restaurant is hosting a Giving Tree and collecting gifts to bring holiday cheer to our children.
Serendipity Ice Cream on Third Street invited families to take photos with Santa, with proceeds benefiting Juliette’s House.
We Three, a popular indie band, donated a local concert’s proceeds and collected stuffed animals for children in our programs.
These efforts have shown how a single act of kindness can create a ripple effect of healing and hope. Now, we invite YOU to join this movement of generosity.
Choose Children This Christmas
While many children are wishing for toys or games, some are simply wishing for safety, love, and a chance to thrive. This Christmas, you can fulfill that wish. Imagine the child you love, their bright future filled with possibilities. Imagine giving that same hope to a child in need.
Your donation—whether $25, $50, or $1,000—has the power to change a child’s life. Together, we can rewrite their stories and create a world where every child feels safe, valued, and loved.
