A STORY OF HEALING AND HOPE
Healing begins
with hope.
Inspired by a real girl who found healing at Wedgwood, Ivy’s Story captures the impact your generosity can make this holiday season.
Ivy's Story
This animated short shares the powerful, true story of “Ivy” — a young girl who once felt broken after a traumatic childhood but found healing and hope through Wedgwood Christian Services. While her name has been changed to protect her identity, the voice you’ll hear is Ivy’s own.
Your gift helps provide a safe space, compassionate care, and reassurance to children in our care that they are loved.
All the qualities I have now,
I had as a little girl,
but they were stolen from me.
God redeemed all of that
and brought it back to me.
Wedgwood helped restore
what was stolen.”
'Ivy'
Former Residential Client
