Help Allison raise money

My name is Allison and I am the Transitional Housing Programs Coordinator at Dixon Transition Society. This is my third year participating in the Scotia Bank run, and this will be my second half-marathon! 

At Dixon, we support women and children who have recently left abusive relationships.

The children who come through our doors get to experience activities, services and supports, just for them, of which are organized by our Child Support Workers.  This opportunity allows them to just be kids during a stressful time in their young lives.

As per our website, many of the children who knock on our doors (204 children in our last Fiscal Year) have often witnessed violence, if not directly experienced it. We know that children who grow up to respect women and learn how to express emotions in a healthy way are an indicator of the cycle of violence being broken. We want the children in our care to grow up safe and happy, with every opportunity to succeed and go the distance.

Unfortunately, as of 2020, the funding for this vital program has been entirely eliminated. However, your generous donations through last year’s Scotiabank Charity Challenge enabled us to keep our Child Support program up and running! This year again, we are looking to our compassionate donors and supporters to help us raise funds for this essential service.

Please help me reach my goal in support of keeping our children's programming running for another year! Thank you!
