Philosophy

We strongly believe that abused, abandoned, neglected and severely troubled children, who are in need of hope and motivation in America’s foster and residential treatment care, if given the chance to understand the power of having a dream, can and will set goals they can achieve from the association and benefits that those of celebrated status can provide.

Purpose Statement

Self-esteem is a major key to success in life. The development of a positive self-concept or healthy self-esteem in extremely important to the happiness and success of children and teenagers.¹ Therefore when children feel good about themselves, they are better able to resist negative influences in their lives. Positive self-esteem enables children to grow up to be happy, responsible and contributing adults.

The continuing need to build self-esteem and self-confidence in children and youth is on-going and a necessary process that continues to be reported as a neglected area in the mental health development of children in the foster care system. Children in residential treatment require milieus—individual and social interactions that support healthy emotional, physical and psychological development.

We believe that individuals of celebrated status working with educators, administrators, residential counselors and mental health professionals as a team for a life changing cause has tremendous power to make a difference.

We believe that a positive message delivered to inspire and to believe in one’s dreams that celebrated individual can deliver often times can be a life changing experience for young ones. Celebrities can make a difference through providing information infused with inspiration regarding hope, courage, wisdom, creativity and perseverance.

We believe that the success stories of celebrated/famous individuals celebrate the human spirit and the ability to achieve in the face of mountain like challenges. Their messages and hand on commitment can enhance self-esteem, self-pride and confidence.

Therefore it is our purpose to provide the necessary platform and support to those celebrated and/or famous individuals who desire to make a positive change in the life of severely troubled, abused and abandoned children. It is our goal and purpose to solicit, recruit and provide on a continual schedule, celebrity visits and/or empowerment activities to residential treatment facilities for the purpose of empowering, motivating and inspiring the process of building self-confidence and self-esteem in abuse, abandoned, neglected and troubled children.
