We understand what it's like to not make ends meet. We also understand that it's important to make sure funding is used in a streamlined manner to help. It's our goal to ensure that every donation has a meaningful impact on the lives of our recipients.

Our grant recipients never handle their own funds, rather we give direct relief. This holds all parties accountable while ensuring best use of dollars.
