Every Child Matters

Your opportunity to make a difference starts with $19 a month. 

32

There are 32 children in our residential program who range in ages 6-15.

$531

$531 per day is the cost to provide round-the-clock care for each child in our Residential Treatment Program. This includes housing, clothing, meals, schooling, multi-modalities, trauma-informed therapy, recreation, and much more as we help every child heal and realize they matter. 

$2,300,000+

DCCH faces a nearly $2.3 million annual operating funding gap in our Residential Treatment Program. Only through donors like you can we continue to make a difference and serve the most vulnerable across the Commonwealth of Kentucky. 

Every child matters

Founded in 1848, for generations DCCH has been providing compassionate care and hope for children and families in need. 

By joining the Every Child Matters giving program, you can make a lasting difference through a monthly or annual recurring gift that fits your budget.

A gift of $19 per month (or $228 annually) provides one child with essential hygiene items such as shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and deodorant. Your ongoing support also helps fund:

  • Safe housing
  • Basic care essentials
  • Trauma-informed therapy
  • Educational and recreational opportunities
  • Everyday experiences that help children heal, grow, and simply enjoy being kids

No matter where you live - in Kentucky, across the country, or around the world - you can make an impact


Become a Heart Healer today and help ensure every child receives the care, stability, and support they deserve.
