Make a gift, help a child heal

Be a G.E.M.  Give. Every. Month.

Yes! I want to give the gift of healing to child survivors in Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender counties who have been traumatized by abuse, often at the hands of someone they know and trust.  I want to provide services, like a carousel, that revolve around the needs of the child. 

Why Give Monthly?

You will become a member of a dedicated group of individuals and businesses devoted to helping children have a safe place to tell their stories and be given the opportunity to heal.

You will build resilience!

$10 a month = $120 a year!

You can provide trauma-focused healing therapy to a child survivor.

$15 a month = $180 a year!

You will provide Family Advocacy for a parent/caretaker to assist with appointment scheduling, crisis intervention, victim’s compensation filing, domestic violence intervention, court support, transportation, and linking to community resources.

$25 a month = $300 a year!

You will provide 6 weeks of parent/caretaker support group, and children’s group for one adult/child

You will provide 1 complete Child Medical Exam and Forensic Interview, with accompanying Family Advocacy.

Be a G.E.M. Give. Every. Month. When you make a recurring gift you authorize the Carousel Center to charge your credit card on a monthly basis. Your credit card will be charged on the same date each month as the original charge.

Your payment may be changed at any time and it will remain in effect until the date you choose or you notify the Carousel Center that you wish to change or suspend the payment, the Carousel Center will make this change in a reasonable amount of time to fulfill your request.

Your recurring donation will provide vital funds in support of our mission to support healing, promote justice, and foster resilience in children victimized by physical or sexual abuse. Together we are changing the way our community responds to child abuse one month at a time!
