To
make a donation, simply click on the button above to access our secure
Paypal page. A donation of $45 will fund an hour
supervised visitation, a donation of $195 will allow
a month of weekly visitations. Any amount is welcome.
Supervised visitation and services
like it are excellent steps towards building up families that would
otherwise remain broken. However, some families currently in the
legal system do not have the means to hire visitation services and
therefore don't get valuable opportunities to repair and relearn.
A money gift to Child Access Services will allow a parent and child
the chance to meet in a safe and constructive session in which they
can focus on family life.
Each donation
is assigned to (or can be designated for) individual family cases. For
more information on how your donation will be used, please call
