DON'T WRITE ME OFF
I AM MORE THAN ENOUGH!!!
Don't Write Me Off Inc is a non-profit agency that is dedicated to helping foster children, adopted children and children who live with neither biological parent. Our mission is to empower, inspire and bring a positive influence into the lives of our foster youth. Our goal is to help change the negative stereotypes about foster children. We will help promote the importance of education, mental health and counseling services. Each child will have extracurricular activities that they would be able to express themselves through. The great thing about DWMO is that no matter if these children are moved from one home to another, they will still be able to participate in this program. Don't Write Me Off will be a home outside of their home. Our motto is "I am more than enough" because they truly are.
