"Enable children to grow in a safe environment; all the while teaching the parents how to support and guide their children into a successful adulthood."
We are not in any way affiliated the government. The Lord works through us to help those in need. We are a non-profit foundation,funded only by private donations. We are basically a referral agency and all matters are kept confidential. Our goal is to help to keep families united by referring them to the right sources.
MASSI was formed because of a 2 step process. The process for helping abused or neglected children.The steps are:
1. Remove the child from immediate danger, to a safe place.
2. Reunification of the family by referring them to the correct services and programs necessary to accomplish that goal.
The problem is, so many states were focused on removing children from harm, then and adopting them out -because they received more money from the government per each successful adoption - they conveniently pushed step 2 under the rug. And so MASSI was born.
Because MASSI is confidential, no names will be added to this page. I will be adding testimonials without names as they come in.
