Pain to Purpose
Support, Educate, Heal, & Empower
Who we are
Pain to Purpose is a non-profit organization located in Victoria, Texas but has a vision of making an impact all over the globe. Since starting in 2019, we have touched the lives of many children in the foster care system. Each child is provided with a suitcase filled with life’s necessities many would take for granted. We believe every child has a story, and we want to make their voice known and heard.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide compassion and sense of purpose to those affected by neglect and abuse, through support and education so they may heal and be empowered to do the same.
You can
Make a Difference
Over the years we have had many Partners and Donors contribute to our outreach. Their generosity has impacted the lives of many foster children and helped us grow so we can bring awareness. There are still stories to be told and hearts to be touched. Learn how you can make a difference in the life of a foster child.
