Help Us Build a Brighter Future for the Children of Haywood County!

This year, with the support of people like you, we were able to reach a goal that we’ve dreamed of for years. The KARE House has moved into our new facility!

Now, we need your help to turn this space into a lasting foundation of hope and healing for children and families in crisis. Unforeseen costs and circumstances have limited our budget for furnishings and new equipment. Your support can ensure every room is fully equipped and welcoming for years to come.

How KARE is Making a Difference

KARE, Haywood County’s Children’s Advocacy Center, offers essential services to children and families affected by abuse and neglect—completely free of charge. Services include:

  • Support Services: advocacy and mental health care.
  • Forensic Interviews: Helping children share their stories safely.
  • Community Collaboration: facilitating a multidisciplinary team to prioritize children’s needs.
  • Community Training Programs: programs for children and adults

Our new building allows us to expand these services, ensuring every child receives the care they deserve. 

Open the Door to Possibility,
Healing, and Hope

What We Need Now

The new KARE facility allows us to: 

  • Expand Services: More rooms mean shorter wait times and greater capacity.
  • Create a Safe Haven: A welcoming, child-centered design to comfort families and increase confidentiality.
  • Increase Impact: Space to grow our team and introduce new programs to meet increasing community needs.
  • Enhance Collaboration: Dedicated areas for team and multidisciplinary meetings to improve care.

 

But We Need Your Help!
Unforeseen costs and circumstances have limited our budget for furnishings and new equipment. Your support can ensure every room is fully equipped and welcoming for years to come.
 
We are inviting individuals, families, civic groups, churches, and businesses to sponsor a room in our new center through a renewable three-year sponsorship that will not only help equip our space, but provide a stable foundation of funding to keep our services 100% free for every child.
 
This is more than a building – it’s creating a space where healing begins.

How Does It Work?

  • Choose a Room: Pick a space that you’d like to support for the next 3 years.

  • Receive Recognition: All sponsorships include recognition on our website, newsletter, printed materials, exclusive updates and stories, and more.
  • Sustain Our Mission: Your three-year commitment provides stable, predictable funding, helping us plan confidently and strengthen our long-term impact.
  • Renew If You Wish: After three years, you’ll receive priority opportunity to renew your sponsorship, with a reduced rate.
