At Our Grateful Response, we are more than just a nonprofit—we are a family united with a shared commitment to empowering teens in foster care. Our mission is simple: to surround these young individuals with a community of caring hearts, serving as their extended family.

Who We Are:

A Nonprofit with Purpose: We are driven by a deep sense of purpose—to make a lasting impact on the lives of teens navigating the foster care system. Our nonprofit is the embodiment of compassion, advocacy, and support.

Aunts and Uncles, Not Just Mentors: We go beyond the traditional mentorship model. Our volunteers are more than mentors; they become the cherished "Aunts" and "Uncles" who stand alongside our teens, providing unwavering support, guidance, and love.

Building a Community of Believers: We believe in the inherent worth and potential of every teen in foster care. Our community rallies around them, fostering an environment where they can thrive and realize their dreams.

Our Vision:

A Brighter Future: We envision a future where every teen in foster care experiences the stability and love essential for their personal and academic success. Together, we strive to break down barriers and create opportunities for a brighter tomorrow.

Why We Do What We Do:

Love in Action: Love is not just a sentiment; it's a powerful force for change. We act with love as the driving force behind every program, initiative, and interaction, believing that it has the capacity to transform lives.

Creating Lasting Connections: Our work is centered on building lasting connections—relationships that go beyond circumstance, offering a sense of belonging and security to teens who deserve nothing less.

Join us on this meaningful journey of love, support, and transformation. Together, we can rewrite the narrative for teens in foster care and build a future where they are surrounded by the love and encouragement they deserve.

Thank you for being a part of our extended family.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The OGR Team
