Often the only love and kindness some of these children have known will come from being a resident of the Home. The staff and volunteers provide a secure environment which meets both physical and emotional needs of these young victims. The Home provides them with comfortable clothes and nourishing meals, much of which comes from private donations. Volunteers and Winthrop University student interns seek to remedy these situations through daily mentoring. During their stay they experience structured daily living for thr first time.
Children follow daily schedules for studying, chores, recreation and meals.
Each child has age-appropriate daily tasks and responsibilities. In the back yard children ride bikes, play basketball, ride playground equipment or play pretend in a log cabin. Inside, children enjoy board games, coloring books and arts and crafts. Children go on chaperoned trips to the rollerskating rink, parks, putt-putt courses, college and professional sporting events and other outings that interest them. The Children's Attention Home is a place where abused, abandoned and neglected children receive caring attention that can begin to turn their lives around.
