“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love” -Mother Teresa

Our Mission

We believe we are on a mission to improve the lives of children, locally and internationally. We bring hope through resources like clothing, new shoes, backpacks and school supplies. We also partner with other like-minded organizations by providing nutritious meals and quality education.

There’s nothing like seeing a child’s face when you show how much you care! That is our goal!

In 2012, we started a new shoe non-profit that took 5000 pairs of shoes to school children in Haiti. We closed that non-profit after 7 years, but the mission never left! I kept hearing in my heart “Children of the World”.

We all know how much the world turned upside down with the Covid outbreak. We decided to take that time to develop a new charity. We formed Mama D’s over a 2.5 year period, and the dream turned into a reality. in 2023, as the world started opening back up, we started doing things locally and internationally.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!
