Renata's Fundraiser for Kristi House

Please help me raise money for survivors of child sexual abuse and trafficking. No child should have to suffer abuse.  Kristi House is one of very few agencies in Miami-Dade County providing specialized mental health services for child trauma regardless of families’ ability to pay. Kristi House is dedicated to treating and preventing child sexual abuse, trafficking and other childhood trauma, working closely with community partners, parents and providers. 

Therapy is a critical component in helping children overcome the trauma of abuse. Because untreated child trauma often manifests itself in health, sexual, and social problems throughout life, it is vitally important that Kristi House provides abused children with mental health services.

1 in 10 children will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. 

1 in 5 children will be solicited for sex online.

In seconds, their childhoods are shattered, their innocence stolen forever. If left untreated, the effects haunt them for years, increasing the likelihood of drug and alcohol dependency, eating disorders, teen pregnancy, delinquency, violent crime and debilitating fear. While there are approximately 40 million survivors of sexual abuse in America today, sexual abuse is a crime that goes largely undetected. 

Kristi House provides vital services to victims of sexual abuse and other childhood trauma through advocacy, therapy and prevention education.
