Member Spotlight

Yvonne Vo, Orange County CA

Before Childhelp, I was always aware of children less fortunate than I was but it wasn't until my encounter with this organization that I was shown the drastic take on child abuse. Basically, at 17 and still almost considered a child myself, it's difficult to grasp or yet alone be aware of such instances occurring but that fact of life is that it does. It was in August of 2011 that I stumbled upon Childhelp through Booboo and Fivel Stewart's Benefit Concert in Tustin/Irvine. With time to spare, my aunt and I approached the table where Lisa Evans was sitting and received a pamphlet. For a while, it remained on my table but one day out of sudden urge, I visited the website and became interested. For a long time, I have wanted to be a part of something beyond myself, that I know can make a difference in lives and Childhelp Wings was exactly it.

Since my entrance into Childhelp Wings as a member/ambassador, I have started a club at my high school and began to spread the word about Childhelp with the National Hotline Campaign as my first activity. I realize that many individuals in the Orange County area may not be aware of the National Childhelp Hotline or the organization itself, and that is what I aim to do. To raise the popularity of Childhelp as well as awareness of child abuse through activities. As of right now, we are working on fundraisers at popular food restaurants as well as selling t shirts and bracelets to raise as much as we can. I may be new to Childhelp and I may still be getting the hang of things, but I hope the hard work will pay off with gaining interest in individuals to join and sign up in Childhelp Wings.

Childhelp Run the Course is a 5K/1m fun run/walk aimed at building awareness of the issues of child abuse and neglect, and raise critical funds to support the lifesaving services of Childhelp. Participants run or walk in support of an actual Childhelp client, wearing a bracelet that represents that child during the event. Although they may never meet that child, they know that their participation supports the healing services that child is receiving.

The event is different than your typical run/walk because it takes place on the cart path of a local golf course, and ends with a fun festival to celebrate. Participants enjoy the beauty and varying nature of the course, and are able to raise funds via individual online fundraising pages. Many businesses use the event as a team building opportunity as well.
