​
Our foundation provides services and textbook scholarships to college/vocational students who have a disability or disorder. Prospective homeless college students who have never known anything but a transitory lifestyle often strongly believe education provides a way out of their current situation. Whether you help through monetary donations or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you.
We believe children can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
