What We Do
Friends of the Forgotten addresses a public health crisis: the developmental stagnation of institutionalized children with disabilities and other disadvantages. We pair children facing isolation and stigma with disability-informed mentors who offer example and encouragement.
Our one-on-one approach serves as treatment plans—building trust, teaching life skills, and creating belonging. Partnering with mission-based orphanages, schools, and hospitals, we deliver grassroots mental health interventions that bridge psychological and social gaps—guiding resilient transitions into adulthood.
We envision a world where people with disabilities are not defined by their circumstances but empowered by their potential.
