Our
Mission & Values

We are dedicated to provide opportunities for all young people to live a better life. Our donations are given to programs that benefit all, without regard to their race, religion, or background. We strive to create a better world, and we thank all of you for helping us to achieve that. 

We were founded in 2024 by Glenda Marck, Belle's devoted mother, our charity stems from her firsthand experiences witnessing the challenges faced by individuals with autism and other special needs. Motivated by her daughter's journey and a deep-seated commitment to fostering inclusion, Glenda recognized a critical need for funding programs that support and empower these individuals. With unwavering dedication, she established our charity to fill this gap, driven by the belief that every individual deserves opportunities for growth, acceptance, and inclusion.
