We Care Services for Children
$100,000
With IMPACT Diablo Valley’s grant funds, We Care Services for Children is helping an additional 100 children and their families by hiring a new, full time therapist to work with these children to get them the help they need to heal the wounds from their early childhood trauma.

This organization supports families and children from birth to five years old with targeted and effective early intervention services to help children reach their full potential, regardless of their circumstances.
