Celebrating the impact of those who continue to inspire us through their generosity and compassion.
At Kids In Crisis, every gift tells a story of love, generosity, and a legacy that lives on. In Their Honor: Legacies That Live On is a tribute to the extraordinary supporters whose compassion continues to make a difference, even after they are gone. Through contributions made in their memory, their legacy remains woven into the fabric of our mission, offering hope and healing to children and families every day.
Legacy gifts that kept hope alive through a record-breaking winter…
Gifts in honor of Ralph Wyman helped keep our 24/7 Helpline fully staffed during one of the busiest winters in our history. Because of their generosity, more than 500 children, teens, and families received immediate crisis support at the exact moment they needed it.
A legacy that created 120 nights of safety…
The Juan Meyer Legacy Fund provided 120 nights of safe shelter at SafeHaven last year… warm beds, clean clothes, meals, counseling, and school transportation for children arriving in crisis. Their gift ensured no child was turned away during periods of highest demand.
A legacy gift that brought mental health support into more schools…
A planned gift from longtime supporter Gil Silva helped expand our TeenTalk program into an additional elementary school, giving hundreds of young students daily access to a trusted mental health professional during a year of growing need.
If you would like to honor the memory of a loved one by establishing a new fund or adding to an existing one, please reach out to us at development@kidsincrisis.org
Legacy gifts are not only for later in life… many supporters of all ages choose to make Kids In Crisis part of their family’s future.
Your tribute stays right here in Fairfield County and Southwestern Connecticut, supporting the children and families who are part of your own community, the kids you pass on the way to work, the students in local schools, the families who rely on us every day.
Together, we can create a lasting tribute that reflects your loved one’s values and extends their legacy of caring to those who need it most.
