ABOUT US
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to support and restore disadvantaged children, teen mothers and families.
​
WHAT WE DO
We fund or provide access to educational, environmental, and life skill enhancement opportunities encompassing human growth and development for youth, parents, foster children and foster parents.
There are approximately 17,000 children in the Arizona foster care system which makes our work and support vital to their mental, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being. Through our support more children are staying in school, graduating high school, and entering college. Through life skill enhancement opportunities more youth and teen mothers are able to get and maintain jobs which enables them to learn and understand how to budget their money to be successful once they are no longer in the foster care system.
​
​
Many children that grow up in the foster care system feel alone and hopeless and do not have any family support. Many of them have experienced trauma by the different types of abuse and neglect they have gone through and by the heartbreaking events that have transpired in their short lives.
Through our funding and support, we are able to lift their hearts and spirit during some of the most emotionally difficult times to a child such as Birthdays, Holidays and special recognition times at school. We ensure that the children living in Against All Odds homes have their Birthday recognized and celebrated with their favorite cake and gifts. We ensure that during the Holidays the children are able to celebrate them the same as other children not in foster care. That includes dressing up and trick or treating, having a wonderful thanksgiving meal, understanding the giving spirit of Christmas, seeing Santa and opening presents by the tree on Christmas morning. Through this love and support the youth and families are able to feel valued and cared about which helps to overcome their past hurt and trauma.
