A Story That Became A Movement
One Story. A Statewide Mission.
Project Worth grew from Kerri’s reporting experience, but its purpose reaches far beyond one person. Her case exposed a painful breakdown in justice and deeper gaps in the systems meant to protect children. Today, Project Worth is growing across Wisconsin for every child who deserved protection, every survivor who deserved to be heard, and every community willing to do better.
Run to the Roar
“The children in my life are the real sparks behind Project Worth and the reason I advocated for Wisconsin Act 200. I would run to the roar again and again if it meant building a safer world for them.”
Why “Run to the Roar?”

TLDR: A report of child abuse was carried by the survivor across systems while the individual retained access to minors. Those gaps became the foundation for advocacy, policy change, and Project Worth.

Where Hope Turns Into Action
What began with one reporting experience became a larger question: how can Wisconsin build systems that recognize concerns earlier, preserve important information, and respond more effectively? Project Worth believes stronger prevention, clearer laws, coordinated response, and survivor informed care can move Wisconsin forward.
Why Reform Matters
Children are safer when laws and systems help adults recognize concerns, share information, and act sooner.
System Gaps Have Consequences
When information stays separated, patterns are harder to see and opportunities to intervene can be missed.
Hope Requires Action
Change happens when survivors, professionals, leaders, and communities turn what we learn into action.
What began as one voice has connected Project Worth with people across Wisconsin who believe children deserve stronger protection and systems prepared to act.
