A safe, permanent home isn't something that a child should only dream about...


Give Hope to a Child.

Gal Child Study

Williamsburg County

Every day, abused and neglected children like Nate and Emily are taken from their homes and placed into temporary foster care. Guardian ad Litem (GAL) volunteers work to help these children find safe, permanent homes where they can thrive.

Volunteer and Give Hope to a Child.

49 Williamsburg County children were in foster care on June 30, 2007.* Our volunteers are ordinary people who do extraordinary things for these most vulnerable children.

Emily watering
Emily is like the thousands of other children living in foster care in South Carolina.

Emily has been removed from her home because she was abused by her family members.
