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.
