Victims of Crime Act funding is 10% less this year, or about $25,000 a month

Vital services for children, schools, and families near you are at risk We’ve been told by our fund administrators at the U.S. Department of Justice to expect a 10% cut in Victim of Crimes Act (VOCA) funds. Despite a last-minute fix by Congress to plug the gap, the demand for VOCA funds is so great that every organization nationwide that relies on this funding is receiving less, including Susie’s Place. Everyone receives help when a child comes to Susie’s Place When children come to Susie’s Place after an informed report of violence, abuse, or sexual assault, they and their non-offending caregivers receive caring, professional help. Your donation has a huge impact on the lives of children and families in our community Whether you’ve donated to Susie’s Place in the past or not, now is the time to help. Your donations ensure these vital services continue in our communities. We do this by paying salaries, pursuing advanced training, purchasing recording equipment and supplies for interviews, materials for prevention education programs, and much more.

We Will Step Up

We will step up—and you can help

We appreciate you more than you can know.  We have received nearly $3,000,000 in support from our community since we opened our doors in 2009.
