“No one wants to believe that any child or young person must face life totally and endlessly without anyone in this world who is kin. Helping him is like dropping a pebble in a brook and watching the ripples go out and out . . .” – Mary H., Morgantown, W.V.

What Our Donors Say:

“I am not much of a letter writer, but I want you to know that I save and treasure the letters you have passed on to me. Each letter is worth much more than the dollars I have sent. It is gratifying to know that what I have can assist deserving young people.” Bernard S., Missouri

“Since we don’t have any children of our own to put through college, we sponsor a scholarship through OFA. The experience has been so rewarding! We receive regular reports about how our student is doing, and also hear personally from her from time to time. This is our way of helping one young person achieve her dream of getting a college education.” – Barbara and Marshall G., Virginia
