Things of My Very Own
A 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization that helps children in crisis.
We pride ourselves on taking a whole-family approach to services. This involves recognizing the unique strengths of each family member and standing by them long after their initial trauma. One of our goals is to support and empower our guests to be their favorite versions of themselves. Today, we are asking you to join us in this quest.
Recently, one of the best mothers we have ever known lost her battle with cancer. She was an incredible person, mother, daughter, wife, and friend who fought hard for her children.
Both children are safe with a family member but will need support in the months ahead. Please make a monetary donation to provide support to these children of others impacted by loss as they navigate their healing process. thingsofmyveryown.org/donate/

I’ve messaged you before but no response, understandably so, you’re busy. Please inform how to do monthly donations and how to change my email address as it is incorrect. You may message me. Thank you kindly.
Where do we do drop offs?

Thank you to everyone who has donated Easter gifts to those we serve. The adults who care for the children we serve have been overwhelmed with love thanks to your donations. 💕
A special thanks to the incredible mom and son who donated the Easter Baskets. Thanks to you, children have been gifted with ‘things of my very own,’ at the moment they needed them. 💕

Today, 82 individuals have appointments to visit our Shopping Center. In addition to the Shopping Center’s regular offering of diapers, personal hygiene products, infant formula, clothing, and toys for little ones, this month’s focuses are home repairs and general maintenance. Available items include drywall repair products and new doors for those whose homes were damaged during acts of domestic violence. New bedding items are on the shelves for children who have been traumatized on their beds and pest remediation products for those struggling with unwanted visitors.
We call this program our “Shopping Center” to empower our guests. If a child comes home from school and has shampoo, soap, and a new toothbrush for the first time since leaving their abuser, their Mom can proudly state that she went “shopping.” All items are new. Appointments are available to those who qualify for the program.
At Things of My Very Own, the “things” in our name include more than material items. We work with families to give them a sense of safety, a healthy self-concept, and the knowledge that they can overcome and heal from the trauma they endured.
To support a child through this program, you can make a donation on our website at thingsofmyveryown.org/donate/ Your gift of $29 a month can help a child in crisis have everything they need to stay safe. That is less than one dollar a day. Together, we can change the lives of children in crisis in our community for the better.
