CHF mobilized a medical clinic immediately after the attacks. In the following months, we helped children and families cope with the emotional impact and advocated for stronger protections. Today we honor the lives lost on 9/11, and those taken in the years since by illnesses linked to Ground Zero.

Early childhood literacy is a pillar of cognitive health. When we read with children, we actively stimulate brain regions associated with language processing, visual imagery, and executive functioning. Literacy is key to fostering early childhood development and ensuring kids thrive and succeed.
