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.

THE MISSION of Arizona Helping Hands is to provide essential needs for children in foster care through our programs promoting safety, permanency and health.

THE VISION of Arizona Helping Hands — Every child in foster care is safe and loved.
