Our Impact

Paying for camp made it possible for a 9 year old to stay with his mom. Without camp funds, mom would not have been able to work. That which would have jeopardized her housing and reunification plan. The case will be dismissed on next court date as a result. This assistance made such a difference!”

One Can Help is the only funding source that actually efficiently addresses what we need as juvenile lawyers for our clients. There are not endless amounts of hoops to jump through to get what they need. My client with three children desperately needed a washer and dryer to keep her newly reunified children’s clothes clean—One Can Help came through and this just boosted my clients self confidence immensely. Another one of my clients needed technology for learning games and to do virtual meetings with her preschool—One Can Help provided a kindle fire for her to do so.
