Foster Angels of South Texas Foundation
About this Organization
For 25 years, Foster Angels of South Texas has been responding to the needs of over 49,000 children and youth in foster care in South Texas. We're proud to maintain the same process that our founder, Ted Oakley, created in 1999 while also expanding our daily work.
Children in foster care have lived through traumatic experiences that many of us would find difficult to imagine. They lacked prenatal care, understood hunger, wondered when or if their parents would come home, cared for younger siblings at a time when life should be carefree, and knew pain - physical and emotional. Once they enter foster care they're alone and facing the unknown. This makes our work vital and paramount to their dire situations.
We believe all children deserve the most basic of needs, experience a sense of normalcy, and have the same opportunities for success as their peers. Children and youth in foster care carry their scars for a lifetime. We are committed to breaking the generational cycle of abuse by helping them find happiness and heal - one child, one request, at a time.
