Danielle's Forever Family Foundation is a welcoming haven for children from diverse backgrounds who have faced challenges in their early years. Here, they can come together as a united community, with opportunities to thrive and grow in a nurturing family-like environment. In this space, they can forge new, joyful memories and receive unwavering support and encouragement. It's a place where vulnerability is embraced, and everyone's voice is heard whether it's for a sympathetic ear or thoughtful advice.
Our mission is to ensure that each child feels cherished, loved, cared for, supported, and prepared for the adventures ahead. We believe it's never too late to rediscover the art of being there for one another and to pass down this invaluable lesson to the next generation. To that end, we pair younger kids with older youth, who act as mentors, ensuring the continued involvement of the older participants. Through positive role modeling, we guide them in providing support to the younger children and their peers, in empathizing and offering assistance, and in celebrating their accomplishments. Our belief is that family extends beyond blood ties, and we strive to be the family that everyone deserves.
At Danielle's Forever Family Foundation, you will discover your everlasting family.

Our monthly DFFF Dinner is a special occasion where youth are encouraged to extend invitations to their biological family members to join us.
Education: We'll support them in completing their education by providing school supplies and equipment, tutoring, and help with applying for college. We encourage them to embrace the opportunity to learn a new language.
Agriculture: Our program will offer lessons in farming and agriculture with the help of local farmers. This includes caring for various animals such as miniature horses, sheep, piglets, and cows, which also provide therapeutic benefits. Participants will cultivate fruits and vegetables for personal consumption and contribute to local food pantries.
Life Skills: We'll assist with completing applications for jobs and housing, introduce ways to build credit, and teach essential skills like doing laundry, cooking, grocery shopping, personal and home upkeep, time management, and getting a driver's license. Professionals from various fields will visit and speak with the youth to help them explore potential careers.
Communication: Through group and one-on-one sessions called "Hear Me," individuals can share their thoughts, develop their communication skills, and break down barriers they've built over time. Discussions will include future goals, career ambitions, and collaborative planning for achieving those dreams.
Extracurricular Activities: We offer board games, basketball, baseball, soccer, movie nights, arcade games, swim lessons, and outings. There will be space for celebrating birthdays and achievements. We also plan an annual "Just Because You're You" event to celebrate all the youth.
Our aim is to instill a sense of familial support, encouragement, and unity in these young adults while providing a foundation for self-sufficiency.
Whether you contribute through financial support, offering your time, or sharing our mission with others, we are grateful for your involvement. Your support is crucial to achieving our objectives, and we're thrilled to welcome you to our team!
