I've created this page because I want to make a difference in the lives of our communities most vulnerable children and families. I'm inspired by the work that Carolina Youth Development Center (CYDC) does and wanted to support them by raising money.

Each year CYDC, through their residential and community-based programs, they serve over 900 children and families. From providing career readiness education to their residential youth, to offering in-home visits for struggling families at risk of DSS intervention, CYDC is proud to support the families in our community through a broad continuum of services from prevention to intervention for over 230 years!

Please help me help them by giving whatever you can by clicking the 'Donate' button, or becoming a fundraiser yourself. The more people that know about CYDC, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
