TIFTON, Ga. (WTXL) - A new effort to build a playground for a Child Advocacy Center is getting a much-needed hand.
Georgia Power has volunteered to help raise money and build a playground for the Tifton Patticake House.
The organization serves as a child advocacy center to help children who may have been abused or who have witnessed violence.
The executive director of the Patticake House says having a new playground would provide something fun for children to do in a trying time.
"We want a safe and happy place for kids to come and hang out while they are waiting for their forensic interview," said Nancy Bryan. "Sometimes families come with children who are being interviewed and we need something for them to do, as an outlet and something positive."
Bryan says they are also seeking a grant to purchase the actual playground.
They also plan to make it handicap accessible. The project could get started on as early as next week.
