"Without impact, innovation is just an idea with promise....
Our Wheels of IMPACT will continue to heal trauma-related experiences while transporting our children to appointments, school activities, and community events for their next destination."
That's the message from the president and CEO of Children in Crisis in Pensacola, Fla., after the all-women group IMPACT 100 gave the nonprofit two new vans, reports the Pensacola News Journal.
The nonprofit has been caring for more than 1,000 abused and neglected children since 2008, and had two vans that were unreliable, says Kevin Maloney.
"Having these new Wheels of IMPACT enables us to seek out fun, educational venues and events throughout the four counties to give our children and youth a variety of positive experiences to help heal negative emotional experiences due to abuse, neglect and abandonment," he says in a statement.
One of the kids the group was caring for recently asked, "Do you think my new family will let me have a cat?" "With tears of joy, the response was, 'I certainly hope so!' These conversations matter and are so important," Maloney adds.
