OUR FOUNDER'S STORY
In 1998, 10-year-old Tiffany Smiling from Tulsa, Oklahoma, was diagnosed with one of the rarest forms of brain cancer. Tiffany underwent 4 brain surgeries and radiation treatment before being dismissed from St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in 2005. During her 8 year battle with the terminal disease, Tiffany discovered the importance of living everyday with purpose, the value of a strong family, and the healing power of Jesus.
With cancer behind her, Tiffany fought to pursue a life of normalcy. She went to Oklahoma State University, joined a sorority, completed her degree in Hotel and Restaurant Administration, and put her studies to practice opening her own Frozen Yogurt Store in her hometown.
In the winter of 2012, Tiffany found herself working at her yogurt shop asking the Lord to break her heart for the people that His heart breaks for. And sure enough, He did. He revealed to her the millions of children around the world that are abandoned, dying on the streets, and sold into human trafficking. Unable to fathom that what God was revealing to her, Tiffany hopped on a plane and headed to Uganda to see the way of life for millions of children firsthand.
“I met children orphaned after witnessing their parents being murdered. I held babies hours away from death, I encountered villages that had never heard the name of Jesus. As a follower if Jesus, I couldn’t imagine how anyone, especially myself could know these facts and have the minimal resources to meet the needs of these children and withhold them. It was then I realized, God had healed me and given me life when I was in desperate need, so that I also could fight for other children in their most desperate hour.”
