Support Children in Louisiana's Justice System!

At the Louisiana Center for Children's Rights, we support our clients every day -- in the courtroom, in the classroom, and in the community. But sometimes what stands between our kids and success are barriers seemingly small, but that can be insurmountable.

Jackie's family lost their home, but can't pay for the rental truck to move in with relatives. Nelson, newly released after having previously been sentenced as a child to die in prison, can't afford to set up a new home.

No child should sink deeper into the justice system because they cannot afford the small costs that matter so much to their success. Sometimes our staff covers these costs out of pocket -- in some cases literally giving kids the shoes off our feet. But this isn't sustainable, and these $50, $100, and $500 costs can really add up.

This holiday season, I'm rallying to raise money for LCCR's Small Favors Fund -- a reserve used to help our children and individuals formerly sentenced to juvenile life cover the small costs that stand in the way of opportunity.

Vulnerable children are the ones most likely to be pulled into the justice system, and face the biggest obstacles in exiting it. I hope you can support this cause.
