FOR DONORS
a snapshot at the Galyons organization. our mission, who we are, and how you can help. thank you in advance for your consideration of a donation.
Our mission:
We believe all kids, no matter the life they are born into should have the opportunity to feel loved, protected, and safe. That someone is on their side because they want to be, not simply because the state has appointed them to be.
We get one story in this life. Your family doesn’t have to define you, but if you’re searching for a home base, you’re welcome to ours.
The woman behind Galyons:
Annie Galyon officially established Galyons as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in 2022, but her involvement and passion for the mission started long ago.
How you can help:
Your donation helps to provide children in foster care with daily necessities, and set them up for independent success.
