Join Carrie the Backpack and Transform Lives

Welcome! I’m Carrie, an extraordinary backpack at Cookson Hills. Here, our students carry much more than books and binders; they bear the weight of unimaginable challenges and injustices, such as abuse, neglect, homelessness, failed adoptions, and parental incarcerations. Cookson Hills Christian School harnesses the power of education to break the cycle of trauma and provide a path to healing and hope. But we can’t do it alone. Our kids need you to shoulder the weight with them. Your support brings God-honoring compassion that reaches beyond what any of us can do alone.

That’s why Cookson Hills focuses on educating students academically, spiritually, and socially in a healing-focused environment. Between the small class sizes and trauma-informed care model, CHCS gets an “A+” for helping kids who are at risk! 

Will you give a gift today?

Your donation can provide kids, like Ahbrianna, with answers to their prayers. During her tear-filled graduation speech, she encouraged underclassmen, saying, “You are meeting people here today who will positively impact your lives now and in the future. And as a result, when it’s your turn, maybe someday you’ll get to be the answer to someone else’s prayers.”

That’s how the cycle of trauma will break. And when you give before September 30, 2024, your gift will be doubled, up to $70,000!

Your $50 becomes $100. Your $500 becomes $1,000.
That $70,000 becomes $140,000! 

Imagine your impact

You can help a child succeed in school, find security in a loving home and community, and grow in their walk with the Lord. Together, we can ease their heavy loads and pack their bags with love, support, and resources to positively impact future generations.

Donate today to provide kids with the education and healing they need to break the cycle of trauma. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
