Every dollar you donate makes a difference in the life of child!
It costs approximately $153/day per child in our care. 65% of the Kids Campus budget is funded by the State of Arizona and the remaining 35% is raised through various fund raising events, grants, and gifts from individual donors, corporations, and foundations. Our fundraising efforts exceed $1,000,000 annually. We exist because YOU care! Won't you join us for the incredible journey into a brighter future for our children?
None of what we do would be possible without the financial and in-kind support of our WVCCC friends. Many individuals, community groups, corporations and foundations have made it possible over the years for us to:
- Build and furnish a campus that is child-friendly, safe and welcoming.
- Develop new programs that are responsive to the changing needs of the children we serve.
- Attract and retain high-quality employees.

8. Yellow Brick Road
Perhaps you remember the beautiful children’s story of the little girl in Wizard of Oz who was lost with her dog, Toto, when a cyclone disrupted her life and placed her in a mysterious world she did not understand? Dorothy was advised to “follow the yellow brick road” to lead her to the City of Oz where she could find help.
A similar frightening situation exists for children who have suddenly been taken away from their homes because of domestic abuse and neglect. You have the opportunity to help provide a home for these children by adding to the WVCCC Yellow Brick Road. The Kids Campus Ramada floor is being filled with a road of brick pavers in memory or honor of loves ones, or in celebration of a friend or WVCCC’s children.
You may join in this endeavor and help us fill the Yellow Brick Road. Just send in a $200 check (which is the amount of the annual tax credit for the working poor) and the following wording, 3 lines not to exceed 14 letters per line:
In memory/honor of
(Or … For the children)
Name of Honoree
