More
Than
You
Know
For all that Children's Bureau has done for us, we have no words to describe how much we appreciate, respect and admire the hard work of so many that help families like mine. Thanks a million to every single person who makes this possible. Your support of Children's Bureau really means
more than you'll ever know.
– Marcia Sanchez, Children's Bureau Parent
Marcia's Journey
When Marcia first walked through Children's Bureau's doors, she was simply looking for a sewing class. What she found was more than
she ever expected.
A mother reading a book with her child. A parent disciplining with compassion not anger. Friends finding support and conquering fears. A toddler separating with ease
from his mother. Tears replaced with confidence. A desire to learn and become more. Love, respect and strength. Children thriving and dreaming big. An involved husband
and father. Giving back to a community. A job and a new home.
It's a life journey that could have taken a different path but didn't because of You. Your passion to spare children from abuse. Your courage to explore and innovate. Your willingness to open doors. Your belief in what's possible.
Children's Bureau accomplished great things in 2012 thanks to You. Your simple act
of giving truly means more than you know to Children's Bureau, but most importantly, to vulnerable people like Marcia and her family.
Childhood Struggles
Early years Marcia's mother passed away when she was 5 years old. She and her three siblings were raised by their grandmother. Her grandmother, as a child, did not attend elementary school as she had to care for her siblings and work. She could not read or write and signed with her thumb to communicate.
Marcia struggled in school and relied on her 8-year-old brother to help with homework. He was more interested in playing with friends and had little patience with Marcia.
Fears Are Calmed
2000 — Married and with a 4-year-old son, Samuel, Marcia seeks to overcome her feelings of loneliness and uncertainty. In search of a sewing class, she finds Children's Bureau and her journey begins.
Marcia discovers a reading class and enrolls with Samuel. Slowly her fears about learning and raising her son are calmed.
A second child is born, Paola. Marcia is encouraged by a neighbor to sign up for the school readiness program. She learns the value of quality family time, respect and gains a positive foundation for her children's academic and life success. Paola excels in the program and graduates ready for kindergarten.
600children participated in school readiness programs preparing them for kindergarten and future academic success
Confidence Gained
2004 — Marcia joins Community in Action, a parent leadership group. In working with community members, she hones her outreach and presentation skills while sharing her enthusiasm for all that Children's Bureau has to offer families. Her confidence builds and she becomes a trusted resource in the community.
10%of parents participating in our prevention programs joined a leadership group to expand their personal growth and community involvement
Parenting Strengthened
2006 — Marcia participates in the NuParent program when her third child, Elias, is born. She continues with the family enrichment program where a teacher helps Marcia and her son with separation challenges.
3500families learned child-rearing skills, bonding activities and found a support forum with other new parents through the NuParent program
Sharing Experience
2009 — Children's Bureau hires Marcia as a family advocate for the school readiness program. She continues to build valuable skills to prepare her for the next step of her career.
10family advocates helped 1,000+ at-risk Orange County families with links
to vital necessities and resources including therapists and parent educators
Becoming a Leader
2011 — Marcia enrolls in community college seeking a degree in social work. She wants to set a good example for her kids.
She is hired as a community organizer for South Bay Center for Counseling, a Magnolia Community Initiative partner.
90%of all the people who live in the 500-block Magnolia Community Initiative catchment area were connected to at least 1 of our 75 partners. In 2013, we plan to launch a web-based system that will connect everyone to all services. Learn more at magnoliaplacela.org.
Family Triumphs Continue...
2012 — In June, Marcia is
honored with the Courage Award by Children's Bureau. Samuel, now 15, does well in school and sports. He aspires to be in the CIA or FBI. Paola is a 12-year-old gifted student with a passion for art and animals. Elias is a happy, funny and very social 5 year old. The Sanchez family purchased and moved into their first single-family home.

Gifts at Work
Harry Bronson & Edith R. Knapp Foundation awarded a grant to the NuParent parent education and training program. In 2012, NuParent received international recognition with an invitation to present the program, measurement tools and results at the 8th Annual British Association for the Study and Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect Congress held in Belfast.
Occidental Petroleum Corp. funded our comprehensive child abuse prevention programs including school readiness, family resource centers, home visiting programs and parenting classes. More than 10,000 children and parents benefitted from these programs in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
W.M. Keck Foundation funded the Magnolia Community Initiative, a national model aimed at building neighborhood resiliency and strengthening families to ultimately improve outcomes for vulnerable children. This grant is helping Children's Bureau provide infrastructure that aligns and links partner groups together, manages the communication efforts, initiates research and evaluation, and develops public policy recommendations to support prevention and early intervention strategies.
You Give Generously
For three decades, Barbara Knight's extraordinary generosity to Children's Bureau allowed us to spare thousands of children from abuse. While we deeply miss our dear friend, her kind heart will continue to help countless vulnerable children for generations to come through a planned gift she made to our Robert G. Kirby Society for Children. Legacy gifts like Barbara's are vital to the organization's future stability and program effectiveness. Be a part of our future and become a Kirby Society Member.
