Ivy's Story
Inspired by a real girl who found healing at Wedgwood, Ivy’s Story shows the difference your generosity can make this holiday season.
This animated short tells the true story of Ivy, a young girl who experienced a traumatic childhood but found hope and healing through Wedgwood Christian Services. Her name has been changed to protect her privacy, but the voice you’ll hear is Ivy’s own—and some of the artwork featured in the video was created by her.
Your gift helps provide safety, compassionate care, and a lasting reminder to every child we serve that they are loved.
No gift is too small
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.”

Former Residential Client
