He often spoke of building a place, where children less fortunate than he, could find a safe haven filled with love and caring. Cricket’s parents and a group of his life-long friends formed a foundation to carry out the dream he envisioned.

And thus on July 1, 2002 Cricket’s House was born – a home for abused and at-risk children. The children are given food, clothing, reassurance, stability and affection. A child can stay at Cricket’s House as briefly as a few hours or several weeks, depending on the family’s situation. Children’s Crisis Center, and their team of miracle workers, operates the program. They provide a secure, warm, home-like environment for many beautiful children.
