Holiday Toy Drive

One of our core values here at Advanced Dentistry South Florida is Giving Back. While we give back as team members, we truly know we have impacted others when our children learn to give back as well. This year is no different. The daughter of a team member, along with her friends started a toy drive! The toys will benefit Children of Inmates Non-Profit Organization.

Help us support children all over the United States and our very own “teenage hero” and make a Child’s Wish Come True!

Today, close to 2.7 million American children, or 1 in 28 children have an incarcerated parent. Just 25 year ago, this was 1 in 125. The number of incarcerated women in the US has increased by 57%, most of these women being mothers. These are sad but true statistics.

Children of Inmates Organization helps to Change Lives!

Children of inmates face a number of challenges every day that peers do not.

• A future that is much more likely to find them incarcerated.
• Feelings of social stigma, embarrassment, and isolation from their peers.
• Visitations with incarcerated parents in anxiety-filled prison meeting rooms.
• Increased potential for depression, lower grades, separation anxiety, impaired emotional development, acute traumatic stress reactions, survivor guilt, and delinquent juvenile behaviors such as drug use, violence, and teen pregnancy.

Let’s help these Innocent Children with a gift this holiday season!
