Our Mission

A Better Chance for Our Children is dedicated to providing permanency for children. We focus on finding families for waiting children, most from foster care and many with special needs. We believe that through education and support, families can develop the skills necessary to provide a stable, nurturing environment for these children. We prioritize this training and support so that waiting children have a better chance of overcoming the trauma they have experienced. We believe that all children deserve a chance to be the best people they can be and, to achieve this, it is in a child’s best interest to be with a properly trained and supportive family.

    Sharia joined ABCFOC in 2021, driven by a passion for helping others. She previously volunteered with AmeriCorps and worked at Habitat for Humanity.

    Venus’ role includes supporting connections between children and families of all types.  After leaving corporate America in 2007, Venus worked with individuals experiencing mental health challenges, domestic violence, and homelessness before joining the ABC team in 2022.
