We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering foster youth, adopted children, and children living outside their biological homes. Our mission is to inspire, uplift, and break the negative stereotypes surrounding foster care, ensuring that every child knows they are more than enough.

Foster youth often face a world of instability and emotional pain, but we are here to change that. Our programs provide a safe space where children can heal, grow, and discover their true potential.

A Home Away from Home: No matter where life takes them, we provide a constant source of support, ensuring that foster children, adopted children, and those living outside biological homes always have a safe space to call their own.
Support Groups for Trauma Victims: Creating a safe space for those affected by trauma to share, heal, and grow together.
Support Groups for Foster and Adopted Children: Offering a community where foster and adopted youth can connect, heal, and share experiences with others who understand.
At Don’t Write Me Off, we’re more than just a program, we’re a family. Our commitment to providing each child with a sense of belonging, stability, and unconditional support makes us a home outside of their home.
