Our Mission

The vision of MADD is to create an alternative opportunity for youth who are abused, exploited, or have lost the power to choose a better path.

In survival mode, dreaming isn't an option. The focus is finding a place to sleep each night. This struggle often leads to life-altering mistakes and imprisonment. Without family support, many turn to the streets, finding a sense of belonging in a street family — which can lead to further challenges.

Healing hearts. Building futures. Changing lives.

Our Goals

Our goal at MADD is to connect and partner with nonprofit organizations across several states to create an ecosystem that allows youth to receive the support they may not have at home — nurturing their talents through dance, basketball, entrepreneurship, singing, and more while bringing light to the darkness they may be experiencing.

Together we will assist in funneling this program through funding and working together toward one common goal: implementing effective measures to ensure no more children die from abuse. If a parent cannot care for their child, they should have the option to safely surrender them. There is no justification for children to suffer from neglect or abuse.
