August is Make-A-Will Month: Leave a Legacy of Love for Vulnerable Children

August is recognized nationally as Make-A-Will Month, a timely reminder of the importance of planning for the future—not just for your loved ones, but also for the causes that matter most to you. For those who believe in protecting and nurturing children, including Hibiscus Children’s Center in your Will is a powerful and lasting way to make a difference.

Since 1985, Hibiscus Children’s Center has been a safe haven for abused, neglected, and abandoned children along the Treasure Coast. By adding Hibiscus to your estate plans, you can continue supporting this vital mission long after your lifetime, helping children find safety, healing, and hope for years to come.

You don’t need great wealth to make a great impact.  One of the most empowering aspects of planned giving is that anyone can do it. You don’t need to be wealthy to leave a meaningful gift—just committed to making a lasting difference. Even a small percentage of your estate can create big change when invested in the life of a child.

You can impact a child’s life – just like Justin.  At just eight years old, Justin has faced many challenges in life. Since arriving at the Hibiscus Shelter, he’s received the steady care and encouragement from Hibiscus staff, his therapist, and his teachers—all working together to help him build confidence, strengthen communication, and develop vital coping and life skills. Their support has paid off!

Justin was named Student of the Month at his school!  According to his teachers, “Justin has shown tremendous progress since the first day of school and our whole team is very impressed.”  This milestone is more than an award—it’s a celebration of Justin’s resilience and the brighter future. 

Start today and change tomorrow.  Make-A-Will Month is the perfect time to review or create your Will. It’s never too late to ensure your legacy reflects your values to protect children.   To learn more about how to include Hibiscus in your Will, please visit HibiscusChildrensCenter.org.
