Operating as a nonprofit 501c.3 organization, our advocacy center is the first of its kind in Hidalgo County and serves children from ages 2 to 17 years of age. Before advocacy centers such as ours, red tape, legal issues and ineffective communication between various departments during a child abuse case often left victims with little to no protection and often discouraged persons from reporting abuse.
Our organization seeks to reduce the emotional trauma of abuse and build a collaborative effort to ensure that all children are protected so that they may once again live with hope in the face of justice.
Estrella's House provides a safe haven with a child-friendly, non-institutional environment where young victims are not afraid to tell their story.
