Our Story
Children 4 Tomorrow was born out of a moment no one should have to witness—but too many do.
In 2009, our founders witnessed the profound emotional and psychological harm being inflicted on two children caught in a high-conflict family situation. The pain was invisible to many, but its impact was unmistakable. Those children were struggling to feel safe, heard, and loved—and there were few resources equipped to truly understand what they were experiencing.
Rather than turn away from what felt overwhelming, three people—a mother, her daughter, and a close family friend—came together with a shared conviction: children deserve protection, families deserve support, and professionals need better tools to respond to complex family trauma.
With no roadmap, limited funding, and a small bedroom serving as our first “office,” Children 4 Tomorrow was formed as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. What we had was a clear mission, a trauma-informed lens, and the belief that meaningful change starts by listening to children and understanding the family system as a whole.
In our earliest days, the need quickly outpaced our capacity. We were forced to make the heartbreaking decision to turn away children and families simply because resources were scarce. That reality fueled our determination. Our first major fundraiser—a Charity Golf Tournament and Silent Auction, raised $9,000 in our first year, allowing us to begin building the foundation for sustainable impact.
By 2011, Children 4 Tomorrow committed to expanding services, setting measurable goals to reach more children and support families navigating severe conflict and trauma. Over the past 15+ years, our work has evolved, but our core purpose has not changed.
Today, Children 4 Tomorrow serves children and families affected by high-conflict custody, emotional and psychological abuse, and trauma. We do not begin with labels or assumptions. Instead, we assess what is truly happening within each family system, how it is impacting the child, and what is needed to restore safety, stability, and healing. When parental alienation is present, we address it. When it is not, we still help families heal from trauma.
Our impact is made possible by a dedicated team, committed volunteers, trained professionals, and supporters who believe—as we do—that children’s emotional safety cannot wait.
While we are proud of how far we’ve come, we know the work is far from finished. Every day, children continue to experience emotional harm that often goes unseen and unaddressed. Children 4 Tomorrow exists to ensure those children are no longer invisible—and that families and professionals are not left to navigate this complex terrain alone.
"Together, we are protecting children, supporting families, and training professionals - so tomorrow's children can grow up safe, heard, and loved."
