Give today and help CALICO achieve justice and healing for abused children.

Dear Friends and Family,

Recently I have been given the privilege to join the Board of Calico Center. This year, I will be volunteering and walking at the Oakland Running Festival. In an effort to help support Calico Center, I am asking you to consider contributing a small donation to help me accomplish my goal of raising $2000 to help the children it serves.

This year, over 600-700 abused children will come to CALICO's offices in need of services to help place them on the road to health, safety and recovery. CALICO's work helps children who have been abused grow into healthy, happy adults and creates safer and more productive communities for us all.

All of the funds I raise will go to CALICO services for abused children, including forensic-interviews, coordinated investigations and family support.

To do their work, CALICO partners with 30 other agencies, including mental health providers, doctors, prosecutors, child welfare workers and police officers. Here is what some people who have used CALICO services have to say:

"I am very grateful for your expertise and the care with which you received my family and our specific needs. Thank you for treating our situation so gently." -- Parent

"I appreciate all that the CALICO team members do for us and our victims. Unfortunately, we interact as partners when our victims, often young children, have experienced unimaginable physical and emotional trauma. Simply put, we at could not complete our mission to protect and serve all members of our community, often the very young and vulnerable, without the professional, competent, and caring support of CALICO." -- Detective who refers children to CALICO

Thank you in advance for your contribution. Your support means the world to me!

Sincerely,

Mel Coronado
