What's Happening at The Children's Home...

A message from UConn Head Coach, Randy Edsall

Dear Friends,

As a football coach, I always set goals with my team at the beginning of each new season. While we always hope to go undefeated, we set realistic goals for becoming the best that we can be. Then we continue to challenge ourselves throughout the season. For our young men, this experience offers some valuable lessons in life

.And so it is at The Children’s Home.

When Eileen and I agreed to be co-chairs of their Capital Campaign to build a new house for girls, there were expectations that new space would correlate with better treatment opportunities. These goals are being met. From its very opening, the new space has helped to raise the expectations of these girls so affected by the trauma in their lives.

Better treatment processes mean better outcomes. The girls’ positive experiences help them to move to new places in their lives-better able to meet the challenges ahead. This work is so important! Your donation will make a difference. With your help, these young people can be winners too!

My best,

Randy Edsall
