Honoring Phil Tripodi's love of helping children

Our mission is to help children who have lost a parent to the disease of addiction not miss out on the simple joys of childhood due to the financial situation of the remaining parent.

Has the child had to stop playing sports or taking dance lessons because money is an issue? We want to help with that. If their friends are going camping and they can’t because they don’t have a sleeping bag? We want to step in. A dress for the prom, a new bike, a day at a water park, a class trip, we don’t want these children to miss out on the simple joys of childhood.

We know we cannot take a child’s grief away, but we can give them a moment to be a kid again, a moment to smile!
