This morning we are so glad to congratulate another graduating class of Court Appointed Special Advocates!

Message us to learn more about serving as a Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteer here in Cherokee County. Training classes are offered this fall and in early 2027.

One phone call can change a life. 💚 Earlier this summer, Wren’s Collision Center of Canton made that phone call to The Children’s Haven. They were part of a national program that gives refurbished cars away to single parents in need and they wanted to partner with The Children’s Haven to give a car to a local mom. Through the @nationalautobodycouncil Recycled Rides program, generosity from @travelersinsurance and repair work donated by @wrenscg in Canton, a dream for reliable transportation came true! Katrina Watkins is a graduate of our Positive Childhood Alliance (PCA) Cherokee program where she completed six months of parenting education, gained connections to community resources, and received support to get through a hard season. We’re so proud of her. We’re so proud of how hard she works to care for her two children and her younger sister. She’s relied on Uber, Lift, and friends to get her to and from work everyday for three years. This beautiful 2023 @honda HRV Sport will be such an incredible gift for her family now! @enterprise presented Katrina with a $500 gift card to Amazon to help fill more wish lists for her family! She was also gifted $200 for gas. Other surprises like a dash camera to see her kids in the backseat, new car seats, car care items, and gifts for the kids were kindly tucked away in the trunk. This community came together in a really powerful way and that’s something big to celebrate! Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating Katrina yesterday. It was truly so special. 💚 #buildinghappyhealthychildren #recycledrides® #recycledrides
