Project Title: Personal Hygiene Kits/Care Packages
Project Description:

We are seeking funds to be able to continue to provide Personal Hygiene Kits/Care Packages to approximately 225 physically abused, sexually abused and/or criminally neglected children. The CPT operates the ONLY forensic medical clinic serving alleged child abuse victims in the County. Our doctors also examine victims in hospital/emergency rooms as well as in a rural office out in Pahokee. CPT services are free and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our goal is to provide a kit to every child abuse victim examined in our clinics. We started this project in 2014. The responses from the children and caregivers have been incredible and pure joy. The gender & age‐appropriate kits facilitate discussion between CPT staff, victims and caregivers about hygiene and follow‐up care. Readily available supplies and medicines encourage better follow‐up care; reduce further infections and medical expenses, and support victims and caregivers in a challenging time. Baby kits include diapers, wipes, formula, etc. plus 1st aid supplies in a diaper bag. Child and teen kits include similar 1st aid items, plus underwear, socks, and personal hygiene items in a backpack. All kits include brochures in English, Spanish, and Creole. We also include school items during the school year, and a small toy item.
We operate on a slim budget with strict restrictions on reimbursable expenses. We can only fund special projects like this with grants and private donations. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to submit an LOI and for the Foundation’s support of Florida’s children in the past. We hope to continue our partnership and appreciate your time and consideration.
