An Educational and Charitable 501(c) (3) Foundation since 1971, Federally qualified since 1973
OUR MISSION: To make available an exemplary education for as many people as
possible who are unable to provide such for themselves; to provide housing for
those in need and to support any other worthy charitable causes that may
enhance mankind's mental and philosophical evolution in all that is fine and noble.
Our primary focus is the 1,000,000 homeless children currently in our country and
the 500,000+ children in our foster care system steadily year after year. 1,500,000.
of our children every year whose futures are desperately at risk. Our management
is of the opinion that the true number is closer to 2,500,000. These are the
children who fall into child prostitution, thievery, drugs, murders and suicides -
nearly all children in the foster care system also become homeless at age 18 -
even if they have succeeded in remaining in school.
NOTE: Since the text was initially placed on this page, the increase in homeless
children (and their families) may have increased by another million.
Our current in-process programs include:
(1) Our "Icon Campus" residences for youth who become homeless upon aging
out of the foster care system, as well as those who become homeless for other
reasons, and who wish to continue their education.
(2) Futures For Children Fund: is a program to provide computers, clothes,
shoes, winter coats, and other items for homeless youth as well as funds for
special school programs (primary school 1- 12) that can cost $300.00 or more.
Funds for these programs are necessary for the young student in order to
maintain their grades. Children living in disadvantaged households and children
in the foster care category who live with relatives other than with parents - in
California alone, out of approximately 100,000 foster children, about 50,000 live
with relatives - mainly grand parents, many of whom live on set incomes and
experience hardship trying to give a child the necessities required for the child
to function on an even field with their classmates. All children living in
disadvantaged circumstances are potentially "at-risk children."
We know there are educational facilities everywhere, however, most youngsters
in the "foster home" system lose weeks each time they change residences,
weeks that become months - they begin to fail, falling far behind others in their
age group - they fail grades, lose pride and self esteem. These innocent young
boys and girls deserve a future, they deserve an experience that will stimulate
enthusiasm again, giving them incentive to learn and take hold of the opportunity
to become contributing adults.
