Building a brighter future for foster kids for over 30 years

This year we’ve supported over 620 youth, moms and children.

Aunt Leah’s Place helps prevent children in foster care from becoming homeless and vulnerable mothers from losing custody of their children. To support them on their journey to self-sufficiency, we provide supported housing, job training and coaching on essential life skills.

Aunt Leah’s was evaluated by Charity Intelligence as one of the Top 10 Impact Charities delivering returns of 6 times for every dollar donated.

Moving into Aunt Leah’s laneway house came at the right time since I was giving birth to my second child. It has been nice to have my own space where my children can have their own room, bathroom, and patio. I like having the support of the staff, as well as being able to connect with other moms. Most of all, I like that I have my independence in a home where my children can play and be safe. Thank you for the opportunity.
