At the Lilato Care & Justice Center, children who have endured abuse and abandonment find a Safe Haven where healing begins. Each child receives trauma-informed counseling, medical care, nutritious meals, and the chance to continue their education in a supportive, faith-centered environment. With the help of caring adults and licensed therapists, children begin to rebuild their sense of trust, dignity, and self-worth. Lilato walks with each child toward long-term restoration. Social workers prepare children for the legal process, advocate for justice, and help trace and assess family members for safe reintegration. Through this holistic model, Kids Alive is restoring childhoods and transforming futures.
