Eddie's Story

Meet Eddie. 

Eddie came to CEDARS after it became unsafe for him to remain in his home with his dad.  Eddie was struggling with being away from family, so CEDARS arranged a supervised visit between him and his grandpa.  

After observing the strong bond between Eddie and his grandpa, CEDARS advocated for Eddie to be placed with him. The recommendation was met with joy and relief by both Eddie and his grandpa, who were deeply grateful for CEDARS support and the time spent witnessing their connection. Thanks to this advocacy, Eddie found stability and the loving care he needed with his grandpa. 

CEDARS is here for kids like Eddie. Always.
