Neuler Franco
Given all that Ivy Child has done for us, it’s an honor to give back through volunteering, by supporting the Annual Fund, and by putting Ivy Child into our wills. I see our bequest plans as another “second chance,” the opportunity to give future children and youth all that Ivy Child has given us and our young people.
Laiya, Arya and Lily Cratsley

I adore Ivy Child International and am profoundly grateful for all that it teaches us. My daughter Olivia is an Ivy Childer, and we knew the value of Ivy Child. Thanks to Ivy Child’s scholarship program, our family was able to benefit and was able to learn a great deal from the organization’s offerings.
