Give Local Kids a Brighter Future

Did you know 27% of Canadians report experiencing physical or sexual abuse before the age of 15?

This past year alone, we supported 975 child and youth victims of abuse and crime, and 770 caregivers, in Waterloo Region, Guelph, and Wellington County.

Video sponsored and produced by the Aubrey & Marla Dan Foundation (AMDF).
Sensitive content: Video includes themes of abuse and violence. Please watch with care.
