Founded in Tucson in 1912, Arizona’s Children Association delivers trauma informed and personalized care to meet the needs of more than 40,000 children and families each year.
Now more than one hundred years later, the association is one of the oldest and largest, comprehensive child welfare and behavioral health nonprofits in Arizona. Support from our communities allow us to further our mission to “Protect Children, Empower Youth, and Strengthen Families.”
Eleven-year-old Layla, 11, was in out-of-home care for nearly nine months before Michelle and Luke adopted her.
Layla was so eager for her adoption that she texted a letter explaining how happy she was to have her new family.
“I am so excited. I have been waiting for this moment since I found out my bio parents’ rights were dissolved,” explained Layla. “You don’t know how much I appreciate you and Luke. Recently, I have been proud of myself for calling you “mom” and “dad.” I love you both dearly. I am super excited to have a fresh start with you and dad.”

Layla is so grateful for her new family, and the association is thrilled to be able to help Layla, and children like her, find their own “forever families.”
Every day, dozens of children and youth age-out of the foster-care system, not able to experience what Layla received with Michelle and Luke — a stable and caring home environment. When you donate to Arizona’s Children Association, you help provide care to children like Layla. We need your help to fight for Arizona’s most vulnerable children and families. Your generosity will help ensure more children, like Layla, receive a stable and caring home.
