Description

During a normal day in Bexar County, an average of 60 children suffer at the hands of an individual. Yearly over 25,000 kids in Bexar County will come forward reporting child abuse. in 2021, Bexar is ranked the 2nd worst county in Texas for Child Abuse for the year, and on a 10-year average. Last year 13 of those children in Bexar County passed away at the hands of their abuser. Guardians of the Children is a children's advocacy organization, registered as a 501(c)3 charity which provides emotional and physical support for Children who have faced abuse in Bexar County. As a completely volunteer organization, the members receive no compensation for their time or services rendered. The mission of every member is to be a resource of strength for a child or teen who has faced abuse, and through education assist others in doing the same. In order to facilitate our program needs throughout the year, we host an annual fundraiser. We raffle off a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle each year, to provide for families enrolled and our educational needs during the year. Every family directly care for by the Guardians of the Children is required to have an outcry made by the child and a police report on file. We do this to maintain positive assurance we are dealing with abused children in the system and not engaging in civil matters that are unrelated to a child being abused.
