Whether you give $50 a month as a Match Maker or join our Miracle Society for a larger commitment over 5 years, your continuous gifts support the sustainability of our organization and the effectiveness of our mission for years to come.

Become a Partner
We know that alone we can’t fulfill our mission, so we have partnered with hundreds of corporations, foundations, schools, law enforcement and first responder agencies, as well as family-serving non-profit organizations throughout Miami-Dade County. These partnerships are fundamental to supporting Littles as they develop their potential and begin their path toward personal fulfillment. Recognizing that little moments can have a big impact on a child, partners contribute to brighter futures, better schools, and stronger communities.
