Another Successful Pinwheel Garden!

THANKS MEADOWGLEN for supporting child abuse prevention by hosting a pinwheel garden for Ralston House. Our generous neighborhood donated $740 for 148  pinwheels. That’s a lot of hope and healing! When children and teen victims see the pinwheels, they are reminded that others haven’t forgotten about them, that others are rooting for them to start down the road to recovery, that others are taking steps to stop the abuse. The 1,300 children and teens served at Ralston House in 2021 are only a small number of young people affected by child sexual abuse.

All of Ralston House’s services (interviews, family consultation, medical exams, and court school) are provided to families free of charge. Additionally, trainings are provided to law enforcement, child protection, and the district attorney’s office. Prevention talks are also available upon request, also at no cost. See www.ralstonhouse.net for additional information, prevention tips, or to make a donation.

Feel free to take any pinwheels home. (They’ll be recycled by May 15^th.) They are a bit battered by the wind although most are still standing – perhaps like the child and teen victims they are helping. Everyone deserves to grow up in a nurturing environment, free from harm and fear. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!
