'Tis the Season of Giving


CANY drama therapy group, 3 teens

CANY asks you to support the transformative work that helps hundreds of children and adults annually by donating to our 2010 Annual Appeal. CANY group members, like Alicia, can tell you why your donation makes such a difference in their lives.


Alicia's life has been defined by violence -- from a childhood of neglect and abuse to a marriage marked by repeated domestic violence.  She, along with her little boy, Tyrone, are now living in a safe shelter. They both participate in CANY's drama therapy program.  Speaking about her CANY group, she says, "I get to be the person I always wanted to be in here and now I can do that outside of here too. I'm not afraid anymore.


Read more about how your donation will be used in 2011.

 

From all of us at CANY, thank you for supporting
healing through creative expression.

An Original CANY Poem:  This Year


The creation of an original poem during a CANY group allows our clients to gain access to feelings that too often go unexpressed or unexplored in everyday conversation.  Poems such as this one are then used to inspire dramatic scenes relevant to the lives of group members.  We hope you take a moment to read THIS YEAR, a poem written by a CANY group at New York Presbyterian Hospital in preparation for 2011.                


This year I want to bring in fun and let go of disappointment


This year I want to appreciate my new friends and let go of hurt and

betrayal


I want to bring in safety and let go of the label incompetence


This year I want to bring in relaxation and let go of family challenges


I want more understanding so I can let go of confusion


I want openness to adventure so I can let go of too much structure


This year I want to breathe,


I want to be wise,


I want to stay simple


This year, I want to bring in the child inside so I can stay true to myself.
