Thirteen-year-old Kim knows all about one-size-fits-all.
For two years, she’s been shuffled through the system—no place of permanency, no place that feels like home. Each time she’s “recovered,” she’s given the same thing: a pair of one-size-fits-all sweatpants, travel toiletries that don’t meet her needs, and a bed she’ll only keep for a few weeks before running again.
She’s learned by now not to expect anything different.
She’s staying in an unsafe place again, but it’s the best option she has. Then there’s a knock at the door– it’s the police, and she knows she’s about to go back to the one-size-fits-all system that’s failed her so many times before: another new group home, another set of clothes that don’t fit, another cycle where no one really sees her.
It’s been years since she’s had help with her hair—something that used to bring her so much pride.
The system does not have additional resources to help kids like Kim feel safe, appreciated, and seen when they’re located. Your support can offer dignity, comfort, and a reason to believe that this time is different.
Your gift helps provide Kim and others like her with essentials that meet their individual needs—not just generic items, but products that help restore their confidence and show them that they are truly seen.
This is our chance to show them that this time, someone cares.
Each donation directly funds essentials like new clothing, bedding, hygiene and grooming products, transportation, and meals for children recovered during our Missing Child Recovery Operations.Â
This fund is a direct path of support for endangered children, making their recovery more comfortable, humane, dignified, and trauma-informed.Â

It is an honor to directly impact a rescued child’s life. Here’s how your donation makes a difference:
Contributions will be earmarked for use across NCPTF’s Missing Child Rescue Operations in 2025.
These tangible resources will make a profound difference for children, especially in our upcoming March rescue operation in the Capital Region of New York where more than half of cases potentially involve children under state care with significant material needs.
đź’™ Funds are used flexibly to meet the immediate needs of children rescued during operations. This includes direct support for kids and families through trusted partners in each region.
đź’™ NCPTF wants to ensure rescued children with significant needs receive brand-new clothing, toiletries, personal hygiene items, shoes, and bedding, as well as comfort items like snacks and games to ease their transition to safety.
💙 These essentials help children begin their recovery feeling safe, cared for, and supported—instead of just receiving the same one-size-fits-all solutions they’ve been given before.
Unlike our structured sponsorship options, this fund is used only for rescued children support in communities where NCPTF hosts Missing Child Rescue Operations. The fund welcomes donations of any size, and can complement any sponsorship option.Â
