Meet Kelly.

The day Kelly walked into Children’s Advocacy Center Osceola was one of the hardest days of her life. 

Kelly had discovered that her four-year-old daughter had been touched inappropriately by her father, Kelly’s husband. A forensic interview confirmed that the allegations were true. Furthermore, Kelly herself was a survivor of extreme domestic violence. She was at a loss for what to do next.

That day, she met Ilvia, one of our Child Advocates.

Ilvia was able to find Kelly and her family an apartment in a new county where she and her children could feel safe, get her a new phone number, and connect her with a counselor and resources to assist with the divorce process.

Ilvia was able to give Kelly compassion and support on her worst day, empowering her to build a new life.

Today, Kelly and her daughter are healing. Her children are safe and thriving in their new home. Her story is a testament to the strength and resilience of survivors. She is living proof that with the right support, healing is possible.

Last year, Children’s Advocacy Center Osceola served 349 children and their families. We were there to provide compassion, support, and resources. And we need your help to continue to be there.
