Who We Are/Mission

The Spirit of a Child Foundation works to become the voice for our most vulnerable citizens - children. Our organization strives to identify and combat barriers destructive to parent-child relationships, thus breaking the dysfunctional cycle passed on from generation to generation. By breaking this cycle, parents will have the tools available to love their children, pass along this valuable knowledge, understand the importance of spending time as a family unit and then be able to articulate these ideals of creating a nurturing bond between themselves and their children. Our concentration is funding established successful organizations that conduct programs to ensure healthy parent-child bonds, whilst creating our own projects and programs occasionally through partnerships, to confront issues not currently or adequately addressed by our government programs.


	About Us
	The Spirit of a Child Foundation (SOAC) is a national 501 (c) (3) non- profit organization that was formed to help strengthen the bonds between parents and their children. SOAC has three co-founders: Sharon M. Wynn, Catherine Sanchez and Cindi Lou Ward that are driven by a deep and heartfelt commitment to make a positive impact for families in need. Their dream and doors to the Spirit of a Child Foundation became a reality on September 1, 2005 to begin their insurmountable mission of "We help families grow stronger".

	The SOAC Foundation will be working to identify and overcome obstacles that all-too-frequently impede the parent-child relationship. These obstacles are numerous and difficult to overcome: poverty; acrimony between parents of the children; substance abuse or other unfortunate circumstances; violence in homes, on the streets, and in our schools. The legacy for our children too often is a new generation of dysfunctional families, attachment disorders, low self-esteem, depression, gangs, teenage pregnancies, school dropouts, and so on. The SOAC Foundation strongly believes that children are life’s most precious gifts and that their childhood should be a time filled with joy, laughter, growth, and endless possibilities. The root to a healthy child is to nurture their inner spirit with time, presence, gentle encouragement, and plenty of love.
