New Children’s Place development in action for Aiken kids
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - Ground is officially broken for the future home of Children’s Place.
Inside the new 18,000-square feet building, Children’s Place says it will provide services to 25 percent more children who’ve lived through the most adverse experiences.
Thursday, community lifted shovels to build a better future for more children, like Jahiem Carpenter.
“He received the love and the therapy that he needed because of Children’s Place because there was a place for at-risk children to go. Finally, more children will have the opportunity to a success story like Jahiem. Jahiem found a home there and I found a son,” says his mom, Dana Carpenter.
Construction is set to start in August, with an estimated completion date of December 2023.
