A Child's Light

A Child’s Light provides expedited mental health support for children and adolescents, ages 2 to 18, who have experienced severe trauma.

A Child’s Light provides no-cost, expedited trauma-informed therapy for children ages 2–18 who have experienced abuse or trauma—helping the most vulnerable children heal, thrive, and reclaim their childhood. Founded in Chester County, Pennsylvania, we work closely with law enforcement, schools, and community partners to identify children in crisis and connect them quickly and compassionately with licensed trauma therapists. Following best practices and funding both pre-licensed and licensed therapists with trauma-informed training, children receive the resources and tools they need to shift their severe trauma experiences from defining their present to becoming a part of their past. All therapy sessions are fully funded by A Child’s Light, removing barriers such as cost, long waitlists, and confusion for families already facing overwhelming challenges. Because healing from trauma isn’t just about therapy—it’s about restoring hope, trust, and a sense of safety, we exist to ensure no child carries the weight of trauma alone. With your support, we can shine a light into the darkness and give every child the chance to heal, thrive, and reclaim their future. Ways to Give:

Help us gear up to help little guys who have been through so much. Somatic therapy is an exceptionally productive way for boys to get out BIG emotions and to work through them. Help us to help kids heal🥊💪🏽

With heartfelt gratitude,

To our friends, partners, and supporters,

Because of you, A Child’s Light continues to bring hope and healing to children who have experienced trauma and abuse. Today, we have funded therapy and mental health services for more than 250 children — each one a life touched, a burden lightened, and a future strengthened.

This work is not possible without the unwavering generosity, trust, and compassion of the Chester County community. From individual donors and foundations to therapists, volunteers, board members, and advocates — you have stood beside us. You have believed that every child deserves access to high-quality trauma therapy, regardless of financial circumstances.

As Founder, I am deeply humbled. What began as a calling has grown into a powerful movement of people who care fiercely about protecting and restoring children. I am continually moved by the kindness, encouragement, and shared commitment that surrounds this organization. Your support is more than financial — it is a statement that our children matter.

And we are growing.

We invite you to be part of this next chapter.
Visit us. Learn more about the children we serve and the professionals we partner with. Attend an event. Share our mission. Consider joining our circle of supporters, volunteers, or board leadership. There is a place for everyone who believes in healing.

Together, we are building something strong, sustainable, and life-changing.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for helping us bring light into the lives of so many children.

With gratitude,

Leslie Holt
