Our Mission
The Our Lost Daughter Foundation (OLDF) was founded in 2007 and proudly became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in June 2024. Our mission is to serve young mothers aged 11 to 25—those who are pregnant, parenting, or both—and their little ones, from newborns up to five years old. We are dedicated to empowering young mothers, promoting healthy birth outcomes, and breaking the cycle of poverty to pave the way for brighter futures.
At OLDF, we provide a compassionate, holistic approach to supporting young mothers through every step of their journey. Our services encompass safe housing, access to clothing, financial literacy programs, counseling, and education on domestic abuse prevention. We believe that by equipping these young women with practical resources and essential life skills, we’re fostering resilience, independence, and a stronger community for generations to come.
Trust
We are committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where young women feel secure and supported during challenging times. Building trust is the foundation of our approach, as it allows us to foster genuine connections and provide meaningful guidance.
Empowerment
We strive to inspire young women to see beyond their current circumstances, focusing on their strengths and potential. By fostering resilience and self-worth, we encourage them to view themselves as capable and valuable members of their communities.
Community Investment
We believe that supporting young women is a direct investment in the future of our communities. By helping them achieve their goals and build stable lives, we create a ripple effect that benefits their families, friends, and future generations.
Our Values
We envision a community where every teen mother has a steady hand to hold throughout her pregnancy journey and access to essential tools for navigating parenthood. Through education, life skills training, and parenting support, we empower young mothers to become strong, self-sufficient women and capable, confident parents.
Our goals are simple yet transformative: every young mother who seeks our support can reach her full potential, becoming an independent and contributing member of her community.
We believe that every child deserves to feel the unwavering love of their mother, and every family deserves the right to a stable, safe, and nurturing home.
