Hosted by the

A success for the awareness of Child Abuse. The Downey Healing Field was a beautiful experience.









The innocent and enduring spirit of a child

A Healing Field for Children
A field of red, white and blue will stand in Downey as a tribute and honor to the more than 1400 victims of child abuse.

The Exchange Club Family Support Center, a child abuse prevention program will be hosting a temporary memorial Healing Field Display from March 30 - April 2, 2005.The Exchange Club Center is taking on this project to express the enormity of child abuse related deaths in our country.

These are "America´s" Children.  This is America's responsibility. Each 3x5' American flag will stand on 8 foot tall poles in rows and columns similar to Arlington Cemetery. 

The event is free to the public and the flags are available for sponsorship.  Sponsor it, own it, take it home and continue the patriotic tribute to America's children.  All proceeds from the flag sales and sponsorships will be donated to the Exchange Club Family Support Center.

This is terrorism in our own homes, of the most vulnerable of victims.  It is Americans, killing Americans.  We lose more children in one year to child abuse than we have lost in American lives in almost 3 years in the war on terrorism.

This will be a beautiful tribute to an ugly problem and a unique opportunity to raise public awareness regarding the tragedy of child abuse, and the revenue will allow the Family Support Center to expand their services.
