Our Mission
The American
Aid
Foundation's
mission is to provide humanitarian aid to those in need, whether it
be from a disaster, health or economic related issues. Our programs
provide much needed relief in ways such as delivering disaster
relief, providing comfort and aid to homeless/disabled veterans and other
homeless, providing positive life experiences to struggling
children, Veterans and seniors and bringing public awareness to the
needs of those in their time of need. The Foundation will
always hold true to it's motto of "In Your Time Of Need... We Are
There" because there is no more fulfilling a feeling then to know
you were there to lend a hand to someone at the most neediest time
in their life!
Words We Live By!
"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others
and the world, remains and is immortal."
Albert Pike
The American Aid Foundation donated 64 new soccer and athletic shoes
as well as socks for soccer (to the director and staff) of a program
for children in need, who lacked much needed shoes for their games
and outside playtime. We would like to thank Melissa and Kenneth
Goldberg of Las Vegas for making this donation possible with their
generous donation to our Foundation!
Outdoor Improvement Program (For Disabled Veteran's Homes)
We are
proud of our newest program to help our disabled Veterans to have a
front and back yard to be proud of and bring them many years of
enjoyment. We have noticed over the years that when helping disabled
Veterans make their homes (inside), functional for their disability,
that the ourdoors of their homes were not in a condition that they
deserved so this program is helping address this problem and allow
them to enjoy their yards to relax in and have family and friends
over. We are doing landscaping, fence repairs, cement
repairs/additions. Please help us to fund this outstanding program
by making a donation to help us reach many more Veterans.
A Huge "Thank You"!
We
would like to give Amazon Brand, Starter, Sketcher, Obsidian,
Meraki, Find corporations a huge "Thank You" for their

Providing Computers
To Struggling Families!

Foundation has begun a program to bring computers to families
that are struggling to make ends meet yet need to have a computer
for their children to be able to do school work and learn to use
computers that is so essential for them as they get older and into

as we enter the holiday season, that you help us make a marked
difference in the lives of families who have little and allow them
to have the tools for their children to prosper as they get older.
