For years, the Palmer Place Child Advocacy Center in Talladega has stood as a light of hope for child victims of abuse.

But lack of funding is a continual battle the center wages in addition to its fight against child abuse of any kind.

That’s why a fundraiser just launched to benefit Palmer Place is so important. T-shirts depicting its message, “Protect Our Children,” are being sold to raise funds and awareness for Palmer Place programs.

And it deserves strong support.

Palmer Place is that safe haven for children, a place where they can feel comfortable in telling their painful story to law enforcement and court system personnel so that the abuse can stop.

If buying a T-shirt can help strengthen Palmer Place’s mission, we urge one and all to order one today.
