Overview

Mission

Provide care, support, and education to children and families impacted by addiction. Children are often the unseen victims of parental substance abuse, living in families so immersed in addiction that they are forced to assume parental roles, guard secrets, and build an artificial facade of "normalcy" to protect struggling loved ones.

What it reported doing in 2024

Establish network of core management and further develop the foundation's website.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
