Dwilene's Story

In 2009, I witnessed the devastating effects of mental and emotional abuse on two children close to my heart. Feeling helpless, I was driven to create change. Together with my best friend and daughter, we began researching how to make a difference, which led us to form Children 4 Tomorrow, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. 

 

Starting with a vision, $500, and a small bedroom as our headquarters, we aimed to bring education, and support to our community. Despite early challenges, including having to turn away children due to limited funding, we persevered. Our first major fundraising event, a Charity Golf Tournament and Silent Auction, helped us raise $9,000 in our first year.

 

By 2011, we were committed to expanding our reach with plans to serve 20 children and grow by 50% annually. Over the past fifteen plus years, we have made a significant impact in our community, but there is still much work to be done. Everyday, children continue to suffer from abuse, neglect, and abandonment. With our dedicated team, volunteers, and supporters, we remain hopeful and determined to bring hope and healing to more children.​
