For over 30 years, La Causa Crisis Nursery & Respite Center (CNRC) has been addressing the issue of child abuse and neglect by keeping children out of harm’s way. The CNRC is a 12-bed shelter and a free resource to the community. The CNRC is the only facility of its kind in Wisconsin, providing a safe haven to children age birth to 12 as families face homelessness, domestic violence, medical needs, or other emergencies. Children can stay a few hours or up to three days. In addition to care in times of crisis, parents are also able to request respite care for their children during times of high stress.
“They gave me peace of mind because when they aren’t here, my daily life is just work and home; the only break I get is work.”
“I thank God for La Causa. I’m glad they exist. They say it takes a village to raise a child, they are my village.”
“With them being here yesterday and I knew they were safe and having fun, I was able to organize some of my thoughts and today I feel much better. My kids love the staff.”
“They gave us the support we needed to stay a family, for me and my daughter to stay together…We had some serious stuff happen; I don’t know where else I would have taken her.”
