Creating safe spaces for young hearts.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is simple:

Putting God's love into action by supporting kids who've experienced and or witnessed traumas within their homes and the communities around them. Although our vision began wanting to help those impacted by substance misuse within their homes.

Our foundation takes a trauma-informed approach utilized with Christian values to teach them how to address conflict, how to recover from it, and create a new perspective of their lives

We currently serve Richmond, VA, but we know God has global plans in our future!
