Yatooma's Foundation for the Kids

Yatooma's Foundation For The Kids is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing guidance, stability, and financial assistance to families with children who have suddenly lost one or both parents. This all-too-common tragedy transcends the lines of race, religion, and status and often forces children to prematurely assume the burden of adult responsibility.


Yatooma's Foundation For The Kids provides grief-counseling, mentoring, and assistance in avoiding self-destructive crutches often used to fill the loss of a parent. To the surviving parent, we also provide professional, legal, and accounting assistance necessitated by the loss of a spouse, as well as career planning, family budget development, and financial assistance.


Yatooma's Foundation For The Kids cannot replace a lost parent. No one can. But we are committed to doing all that we can to minimize the hurt and bring tenderness to tragedy.

Yatooma's Foundation For The Kids provides personalized assistance to families who have lost a parent/spouse. We believe that preventative counseling and support, along with appropriate aftercare, will prevent grieving kids and adults from making poor decisions. The emotional well-being of an individual or family after the death of a loved one is a critical factor in determining future behaviors and actions.


The lawn needs mowing. The bathroom faucet is still leaking. The refrigerator is empty. The little things still need doing. Yatooma's Foundation For The Kids understands that while the family's life has changed, the process of daily activity must continue. We will not hesitate to cut the lawn, call a plumber, or go to the grocery store so that a grieving family can instead focus on healing. This kind of everyday assistance is the most practical, and perhaps, the most personal service that the Foundation can provide.


Fees are tailored according to services provided and individuals' needs.  Contact TFFTK for more information.
