Annie's Story
You can change the life of a child in foster care.
At just ten-years-old Annie had already given up on her dream of having a loving and supportive family.
Luckily, AASK didn’t.
She was placed with the Tuttle family who not only promised to give her a safe place to lay her head, but the opportunity to build trust, time to develop healthy relationships, and the promise for a brighter future.
Annie’s success story was made possible thanks to donors like you who take advantage of the Arizona Foster Care Tax Credit.
The Arizona Foster Care Tax Credit offers a dollar-for-dollar reduction of your state income tax obligation for donations to a Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organization such as AASK. The tax credit is up to $500 for individuals and up to $1,000 for couples filing jointly. Click here to view a video to learn more about the credit .
The mission of Aid to Adoption of Special Kids(AASK) is ensuring every child in foster care has someone who cares deeply about them.
More than 30 years of experience has shown us the difference a committed, caring adult has in a child’s life. Research shows relationships matter, helping children heal from the trauma of abuse and neglect, and improve their chances for life-long success.
AASK recruits, trains and supports families that are building relationships with children through adoption and foster care. Additionally, AASK provides support for kinship families (typically grandparents, aunts and uncles) who take emergency placement of children when they come into foster care due to abuse, neglect and abandonment.
AASK also recruits, trains and supports mentors for children in foster care who live in group homes. The AASK Sibling Connection program reunites siblings separated by foster care through regular local events and a week-long summer camp. The Arizona Foster Care Tax Credit and your donation are what allow us to keep performing this critical mission for Arizona children.
