Breaking the Cycle: Why YOU are important
 The single biggest predictor of child abuse & neglect is poverty- the number of children living in poverty & child abuse deaths have increased since 2001.
According to recent reports:
23% of children in Texas live in poverty; 10% live in extreme poverty
42nd Texas' rank with children living in poverty
The number of children abused & neglected in Texas would fill over 145 schools.
71,111 children in TX were abused or neglected
228 children died as a result
$154.10 amount TX spent per child addressing abuse & neglect
44th Texas' rank in spending addressing child abuse & neglect
Child abuse & neglect is a preventable condition.
YOUR help breaks the cycle & gives at-risk girls & young women a new beginning!

Girls Rock It With Miley!
Thanks to Hear the Music Live, the girls at our Therapeutic Group Home got all sparkly and went to the Miley Cyrus concert at the American Airlines Center last month. And, they were 15 rows from the stage! The girls also got a "Meet & Greet" with the opening act Metro Station.
A special shout-out to Steven Nornhold, founder of Hear the Music Live, and Paige Embry for all their efforts setting up such a cool night and giving our girls an incredible time.
