More than 10 years ago, Tu Nidito filled a need in our
community by building a successful non-profit agency dedicated to
supporting children impacted by serious illness and death. Over
the past 10 years, Tu Nidito has served the needs of our community's
children and has experienced phenomenal growth. In 2005, Tu
Nidito cared for 800 children. Today they remain the only agency
in Arizona dedicated to providing a comprehensive continuum of
child-centered care to children who have a life-threatening illness or
children grieving the loss of a loved one. |

In 2006, Angel Charity gave
$650,000 to Tu Nidito to expand their current 3,808
square foot home to include the addition of a 1,823 square foot building
(to be called "Un Nidito De Angeles" or "The Angels Nest"), a new
parking lot, expanded wall, outdoor lighting, and moving the playground.
This allowed for five support group rooms (there are two currently),
a designated teen room, a library, an art room, two private counseling
rooms (currently there are none), a quiet room, and space for additional
direct care staff. The project will allow Tu Nidito to
offer: support groups for children of all ages on the same night, a
separate group for children whose parent completed suicide or was a
victim of homicide, additional Spanish speaking groups, and adequate
space for more clients to attend groups and receive individual support.
Tu Nidito will be able to grow their current client base by 402 children
a year while providing even better, more targeted services. |
