Who We HelpDISADVANTAGED CHILDREN
We support government agencies and other non profit organizations that advocate for these children. We promote foster parenting and support the foster parents that give of themselves to help improve the quality of life for a child. At least seven million American children have alcoholic parents. Alcoholism runs in families, and children of alcoholics are four times more likely than other children to become alcoholics. A child in such a family may have a variety of problems that adversely affect their lives. They may experience; Guilt Anxiety Embarrassment Inability to have close relationships Confusion Anger Depression Although the child tries to keep the alcoholism a secret, teachers, relatives, other adults or friends may sense that something is wrong. We know that alcoholism and/or drug use affects the whole family. However, a child often feels very helpless within this environment. Young children of alcoholics commonly believe they are alone in the situation with no where to turn. We can help them by extending supportive understanding, love, and hope. The Global Child Advocates team of agents has been sent out on a huge mission to defend the persecuted, show kindness to the broken hearted, provide aid to orphans, serve as role models, mentors, and advocates for the disadvantaged and to make our world a safe place for kids everywhere.
We have provided financial donations to help these worthy non profit organizations:

You may hear a nightly news cast about a case of child abuse, but how long does this image stay with you? We can not forget that these children have lost everything! There pain will go on for a long time...long after the news cast aired on your TV set.
In Maricopa county 58% of the kids taken into protective care suffer from neglect, 35% physical abuse, 65% sexual abuse and 1% emotional abuse. Substance abuse and child maltreatment are tragically and undeniable linked. All children wake up in a world that is not of their own making, but children of alcoholics and other drug-addicted parents wake up in a world that doesn't take care of them.
