Project Description
Our story…
Our inspiration—
Patty Neroni
1958-1992
Our founders, the late Honorable Paul R. Donaldson and his wife, Kathleen, made a promise to her dying sister to “do a good deed each day without taking credit for it.” Becoming a nonprofit organization in 1998, Arizona Helping Hands has served tens of thousands of needy children.
By 2013 sentence, change “the first children in foster care” to “boys and girls in foster care.”
