The Case for Support

A place built for the hardest days
of a childhood

The Family Visitation Center is where children and families stay connected during the most vulnerable time in their lives. Most visitation programs focus on monitoring. This one focuses on healing.

Walk in and you'll find a Community Room built around long family tables. A Family Room where waiting becomes connection. A hand-crafted Reading Tree where children and caregivers share stories. Eight visitation and therapy rooms designed for every stage of childhood.

The Lost Tree Village Foundation's $100,000 investment made this transformation possible. This campaign invites you to put your name on it, fill it with life, and sustain it for the families who walk through the door every day.

Every Family Support Specialist here is trained in the Visit Coaching model, supporting parents before, during, and after every visit. Every interaction is grounded in the HOPE framework (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences) and A Way of Being with Children.

Our ambition for this place is bigger than what happens here today. More children are being referred for trauma therapy, not visitation alone, and we intend to meet them. A gift to this campaign is an investment in the team and the tools that let this Center grow into everything the families of Palm Beach County need it to be.

95children and families supported here each year through supervised visitation, sibling visitation, safe custody exchanges, and visit coaching.
4trauma therapists joining the team, with mobile clinical kits so their tools travel to whichever room a family needs that day.
7,500+children reached each year by Center for Child Counseling across five locations countywide, plus more than 15,000 adults equipped to support them.
The Research Case, In One Sentence

Frequent, high-quality visitation is one of the strongest predictors of timely and successful reunification for children in foster care.

The Goal

$350,000, in three parts

Capital dollars built the space. Campaign dollars name it, fill it, and keep it alive year after year.

Here's how the goal breaks down. Every dollar of it is still ahead of us.

$250,000To be raised

Naming & signature spaces

Nine spaces and eight rooms, each carrying a family or foundation name in the place where the work happens.

$75,000To be raised

Family sponsorships

Annual, renewable gifts that fund the coaching, the specialists, the books, and the celebrations.

$25,000To be raised

Community & monthly gifts

Wish list items, Fund-a-Need gifts, and the monthly Friends who keep this work steady from January to December.

A child was dropped off here this morning to see her mother for one hour. She will be back next week, and the week after that. Your gift decides what she walks into.

Campaign Architecture

One campaign, three ways to give

Whether you're giving $25 or naming a room, there's a clear place for you in this. Choose the one that sounds like you.

1

Name a Space

“Can I leave a permanent mark on this place?”

Gift range
$7,500 to $250,000
See the naming opportunities

Naming gifts are the engine of the campaign. Nine signature spaces and eight rooms are available, each with a dedication plaque, a place in the Hope Gallery donor display, and a story that belongs to your family from then on.

Nine signature spacesFrom the Family Support Specialist Office at $7,500 to the full Center at $250,000.
Eight rooms at $15,000 eachNamed for the natural world, priced identically, and deliberately scarce.
Permanent, portable recognitionSignage is designed to our leased-space standard, so your name travels with us.
A conversation, not a checkoutNaming gifts start with a call and a walk-through, at whatever pace suits you.
2

Sponsor a Family's Journey

“Can my gift carry a real family through this program?”

Gift range
$250 to $10,000, annually
See the sponsorships

Journey sponsorships fund the people and the practice: the coaching, the specialists, the books, and the celebrations. Every level is built to renew, so your gift becomes steady annual support rather than a one-time lift.

Eight Rooms · $15,000 each

Eight rooms. Eight stories.
Eight names still to be written.

Each room is designed for a specific stage of childhood, and each carries a name from the natural world. Choose a circle to meet the room.

Babies & early childhood

The Sunshine Room

Where warmth and connection grow.

Warm and bright, with a yellow rocker and floor-play space. This is where attachment takes root in the earliest years, when a parent and a baby are learning each other again.

Journey sponsors receive an impact story each year showing what a year of coached visitation looks like from the inside. Stories use fictional names. No identifying information about a child or family ever appears in our donor materials.

Tier Three · Give Today

Fill the Rooms

Every gift, at any size, becomes something a child can hold. Pick an amount and see exactly what it does.

Your $25 gift

Outdoor play supplies for the Hope Garden.

Balls, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk. Sometimes the easiest way for a parent and child to reconnect is side by side, outside, doing something ordinary.

Your $50 gift

Five books for the Family Library.

Chosen in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole, so a caregiver can read to their child in the language they use at home.

Your $100 gift

A month of art supplies for the Creative Studio.

Paint, paper, clay, and glue. Children who cannot yet say what they feel can very often draw it.

Your $250 gift

A welcome basket for a child’s first visit.

A blanket, a book to keep, art supplies, and snacks. First visits are frightening. This makes the room feel like somebody was expecting them.

Your $500 gift

A family celebration in the Community Room.

A birthday, a holiday, or a reunification party. Milestones should not go unmarked just because a family is separated.

As a monthly Friend

You keep books and art supplies on the shelves all year.

$120 a year, given quietly in the background, is the kind of support that lets us say yes to a family on a Tuesday afternoon without checking a budget first.

As a monthly Friend

You fund a welcome basket for a child’s first visit, every year.

$300 a year. One frightened child at a time, walking into a room that was prepared for them.

As a monthly Friend

You underwrite family celebrations, month after month.

$600 a year keeps birthdays and reunification parties happening in the Community Room, all year long.

See It For Yourself

Come walk through it

A campaign anchored to a place you can walk through is different from a campaign anchored to a brochure. Reading about the Reading Tree is one thing. Standing next to it is another.

We host small private tours throughout the year, and we'll happily arrange one for you, your family, or your foundation's board. You'll be greeted exactly as families are, and you'll see the rooms that are still waiting for names.

What a visit looks like

The welcome walk

You arrive the way families do, greeted by name and walked into the suite through the branded threshold. The welcome is the first exhibit.

The rooms

Through the Community Room, the Family Room, the Reading Tree, and the eight rooms. Each one carries its name, who it serves, and its story.

How the work actually happens

How Visit Coaching works before, during, and after a visit, and how the mobile clinical kits let therapy travel to whichever room a family needs.

The honest conversation

What is funded, what is not, and where a gift would make the most difference right now. No slides. The room is the presentation.

What you take with you

A campaign piece, a Reading Tree bookmark, and a straight answer to any question you asked that we could not answer on the spot.

Recognition & Stewardship

How every donor is thanked, told,
and kept

Giving here is the beginning of a relationship, not the end of a transaction.

The Invitation

What we're really asking you
to fund

Before a child or family arrives, this space is prepared with them in mind. The Lost Tree Village Foundation transformed the rooms. Now we invite you to name them, fill them with books and birthdays and coaching, and keep them ready.

So that every child who walks through the door finds a place that says: you matter, you belong, and your family is worth fighting for.

Give to the campaign Talk with our team

Every child deserves safety.
Every family deserves hope.
