For Ayla and her young daughter Kehlani, home was no longer safe. Trapped in an abusive relationship, Ayla’s partner was also sexually abusing Kehlani. Their family was caught in a cycle of fear and trauma—until Kehlani bravely spoke out.
With the support of donors like you, Ayla and Kehlani got the help they needed to break the cycle.
At ChicagoCAC, Kehlani began therapy in a safe, supportive environment where she could begin to heal. As trust grew, she shared critical details with one of our forensic interviewers, allowing law enforcement to re-open the case. This time, justice was served, and Kehlani’s abuser was held accountable.
Today, Ayla and her children are on a path to safety and healing.
Each year, ChicagoCAC helps over 2,200 children like Kehlani heal from abuse and rebuild their lives. All of our services are free of charge, thanks to the generosity of donors like you.
