What We Do Transplants for Children (TFC) is the only agency of its kind and located in San Antonio, Texas. TFC empowers families to MASTER LIFELONG CHALLENGES of pediatric transplantation. TFC is dedicated to assisting young organ and bone marrow transplant recipients and their families in effectively coping with the emotional, financial, and social challenges that arise before, during, and after transplantation. For a child and his or her family, a transplant can bring the joyous realization of new life. The transplant process, however, can also present overwhelming emotional and financial challenges which most families are simply not prepared to face. TFC exists to help families master those challenges. Our organization was established to “be there” when families need somewhere to turn for help.
Welcome to LEE'S-WORLD! This organization is founded by Aaron Lee Cardenas, a 22 year old UTSA college student, who studies Criminal Law and has a passion for helping those in need. After encountering many struggles in life, he knew others had it worse. Instead of pushing the topic aside, he came up with a crafty plan. This plan is known as "LEE'S-WORLD". So what is LEE'S-WORLD? Well, it is still in the early stages of development, however this organization aims to focus on providing Charity, Fun, and Food as a sense of world-peace. During the process, low priced food will be served and after generating enough profit, it will be used to help out the less fortunate in many ways. In addition, he plans on creating a fun atmosphere for all, which involves activities such as basketball and anything to keep kids out of trouble. This is one out of several innovative ideas that Aaron believes will impact the community significantly.

VOICES’ work centers around three types of activity: Research We convene stakeholders, experts in various arenas of interest, to identify issues to be addressed to improve outcomes for children. These may be public policies or programmatic practices. Advocacy We organize those stakeholders to develop recommendations that we advance to policy makers. In the programmatic area, we serve as a catalyst for collaboration, working for more effective service delivery. Messaging We work to frame clear and consistent messages that convey the wisdom of investing early in human capital development. Research supports that the pre-school years, birth to about age five, offer the richest opportunity to lay a positive foundation for a lifetime of fulfillment.

AARC utilizes the Johns Hopkins model of HIV Care, an integrated approach to treatment has proven effective due to the complexity of the patient population which is especially vulnerable to drop out from either social services care, medical treatment or both. To this end a “single point of care” model was developed to maintain treatment engagement. The AARC wrap-around care model includes medical providers, psychiatrists, social workers, mental health counselors, housing specialists, and supportive services on-site.

90% of all men and women relapse within the first 90 days of leaving treatment or detox. Without a positive, safe and encouraging environment in which to live these newly recovering individuals hardly stand a chance. And rather than following the program of recovery they inevitably fall back into their old patterns and end up addicted and on the street again. Every day, we help heal the devastating effects of addiction by providing structured residential and assistance programs that reduce & prevent homelessness, unemployment, poverty and crime caused by substance abuse.
The American GI Forum National Veterans Outreach Program, Inc. (NVOP) was founded and developed as a separate corporation in 1972 by the American GI Forum of the U.S., the nation’s largest Hispanic veterans’ organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. The objective was to create a new entity that would provide “hands on” services to veterans at the community level. The NVOP is a duly chartered non-profit corporation qualified by the Internal Revenue Service as a charitable organization under section 501(c)3 of the IRS code. The NVOP, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, is recognized nationally as a premier community-based service provider specializing in services for veterans with special needs. The NVOP is an organization with diversified service components administered by the prime organization (the NVOP) and six sub-corporations that operate services that include employment and training for veterans, affordable housing for the elderly, homeless veterans services, economic development projects that include the Veterans Enterprises of Texas (VETS) box manufacturing company, and the American GI Forum Weatherization company. As a charitable organization the NVOP and all sub-corporations are non-profit entities overseen by a Board of Directors composed of community volunteers and elected officers of the American GI Forum membership organization. In the past 35 years the American GI Forum has established a glittering reputation of administrative professionalism and accountability, and a sterling reputation for innovation in developing services meeting the contemporary needs of the veterans of today. In 35 years the NVOP has never been cited for any disallowed expenses on its annual independent audits, and it has received such accolades as the Regional Award for Cost Effectiveness from the U.S. Department of Labor, selected as a national Best Practice model by the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, and awarded the U.S. Department of HUD Blue Ribbon award for innovation in economic development when it created the Veterans Enterprises of Texas (VETS) box manufacturing company that created jobs for disabled individuals.
