Charlie's House

Charlie`s House was named in honor of Charlie Horn, a 2 1/2 year old boy, who was killed in 2007 when he attempted to climb a 30" dresser in his home. The mission of Charlie`s House is to prevent injuries to children in and around the home. A not for profit organization with safety at its core, this group of amazing volunteers is dedicated to keeping the community informed and engaged when it comes to preventing injuries to children.
Within the next 12 months, Charlie`s House plans to open a safety demonstration house in Greater Kansas City where parents, grandparents, and caregivers can experience firsthand how to safety-proof thier homes. The Safety Demonstration Home will be the only full service home safety experience of it`s kind in the nation. The location will also include a safety boutique display and space where home safety devices, products, and books will be available.
Charlie Horn was small, but his short life has left a huge impact on our community. Because of Charlie`s tragic story, thousands of accidents will be prevented and hundreds of children`s lives will be saved.
