Every child is born with the right to dream. Dreams, fueled by hope, lead to achievement, success and infinite possiblity. But for more than 2.9 million children in the United States, dreams have become fleeting wishes as they have watched their biological families disintegrate. The sins of neglect, abandonmnet, abuse and estrangement have denied both children and family their right to dream together.
In this sea of statistical improbability, hope seems an unreachable shoreline for families caught in the troubled waters of turmoil and crisis. Yet for more than 50 years, Cookson Hills has continuously provided help to hurting families. hope to fuel the drems of a restored life in Christ, and healing through a variety of therapeutic services. by preparing children and their families of origin for inter-reliant relationships with each other and with Christ, families find restoratioin, rediscover hope and share a chance to dream together again.
