A Letter from the Founder
In October 2005, I had a conversation with Andi McDowell, a staff member at a local foster group home, that would change the course of my life forever. Feeling prompted by God, I approached Andi and asked, “Who is helping these kids?”
She said: “They are the faceless generation. They are the forgotten ones. No one is helping them on their journey.”
These statements were a wake-up call. I felt compelled to act, asking, “What can I do? What can our church do?” My research into Arizona’s foster care system began immediately, revealing significant resource gaps. Starting with a Christmas event in 2005, Tammie and I began working tirelessly to partner with faith-based organizations and businesses to address these needs. My goal was to equip DCS case workers with essential resources when removing children from their homes and placing them in new foster or group homes. Beyond providing these resources, OCJ Kids began training and equipping caring adults to visit group homes, offering games, activities, and tutoring to build lasting relationships with the children and teens.
From the moment a child enters the system until they successfully transition into independent living, OCJ Kids is committed to supporting them with resources, programs, and caring adult mentors.
