Author of "Shh Don't Tell" Hosts Coffee for Kids at Safe Shores DC

You are aware of my passion for helping abused children, as I was, and to spread awareness on the effects of abuse and signs to look for through my book, "Shh Don't Tell" and volunteer efforts. Many of you recall my interview on NBC4 Washington in August. Below is the article from Safe Shores DC that references the interview as well as what you can do to help prevent child abuse.  I will be the ambassador for the Coffee for Kids Information session and tour on Thursday, October 23rd from 8:30am-9:30am. I know many of you are typically scheduled to work. I am asking that you sacrifice an hour of your time for the life of a child you are connected to. That child needs your protection and your guidance with awareness on the subject matter and resources available in the DC area. DC has the highest rate of child abuse in the country.  Please let me know if you are willing to attend on Thursday, October 23rd. The address is 429 O Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001. There is parking in the front and if necessary in the back of the building. The closest metro station is Mt. Vernon Square on the Green/Yellow Line. Please go to my contact page on www.getyourjoyinthemorning.com  if you are willing to attend and provide a phone number where you can be reached.
 
Thank you,
 
-Joy
