The Petya I Edwards Foundation is a unique non profit organization that believes in empowering people to help themselves.  The Foundation's unique program allows them to tailor a solution for each family. Rather than giving handouts, the Foundation offers invaluable resources like education, life skills, financial management, and more to the families they serve. Generous donations from the local community and sponsors allows them to provide families with necessary items like food and medical care while working with the families to find jobs, better manage finances, and to avoid homelessness.

The Foundation offers full service solutions, and continues to provide both emotional and financial support until each family is self-sufficient.  This long-term commitment is what changes lives, and allows each family to take control of their situation. Support from the community is what makes this long-term help possible. "We are different than other organizations because we don't give handouts – we give families control over their situation," explains Petya Edwards, Founder. "You don't have to look abroad to find people that need your help.  Families here in your community are suffering hardships, and your support could change their life."

ABOUT PETYA I EDWARDS FOUNDATION
The Petya I. Edwards Foundation was founded in 2009 by Organization Director Petya Edwards in the Dallas area. Passionate about social change and community involvement, Petya took the skills and knowledge she had gained working for the orphans of Bulgaria to her adopted home of Dallas, Texas. While Petya continues to feel strongly about her work in Bulgaria, she also believes that there are children in need of help everywhere. Every child deserves a chance to live in a stable home; every family deserves a chance to find hope.
