Let each one give thoughtfully and with purpose just as he has decided in his heart…for God loves a cheerful giver and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift. 2 Corinthians 9:7 (AMP)
On this #GivingTuesday, we invite you to join us in our mission to spread Faith, Hope and Love to a world desperately in need. Together, we can reach the most vulnerable, the most overlooked, and the most forgotten – those with special needs, those with no home or family to call their own, those facing life-threatening illnesses, and those trapped in slavery worldwide.
On behalf of the children and families we support, thank you. Thank you for being A Cheerful Giver. Your support may literally change a life.
TTF was established in 2010 when Founder Tim Tebow decided to further develop his ministry efforts as an official 501(c)3 non-profit. With a simple, yet profound, mission statement of bringing "Faith, Hope and Love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need," the Foundation immediately began making an impact in the world of people with Special Needs. Over the last decade, the work has expanded into additional areas of focus and now includes Orphan Care+Prevention, Children with Profound Medical Needs, and Anti-Human Trafficking.
Today, the work is funded by tens of thousands of generous donors both in the USA and abroad, many a part of The Movement—a growing community of monthly givers committed to fighting for the world's most vulnerable children and families.
And now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is Love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
Hundreds of thousands of people with special needs have been celebrated at Night to Shine, an annual prom night experience centered on God's love. The 6th annual NTS event in February 2020 hosted over 110,000 honored guests and was supported by over 215,000 volunteers through 721 churches in 34 countries around the globe.
The Shine On initiative formed in 2019 in response to the growing connections made through Night to Shine. Shine On enables churches worldwide to support their local communities of people with special needs by equipping them with the tools and resources to serve and love this often-unrecognized group of individuals.
By walking alongside our official ministry partners in Albania, Haiti, Guatemala, Mexico, and Uganda, TTF has expanded its role in supporting people with special needs through the fortification and multiplication of centers designed to give children in developing countries access to the medical care, education, therapy, and family development they need to thrive.
Nearly 100 official W15H experiences have been granted to children with life-threatening illnesses. W15H weekends are an all-inclusive experience in which recipients are treated to the trip of a lifetime including one-on-one time with Tim Tebow. In addition, thousands of Brighter Days have been created through phone calls, video chats, hospital visits and more.
The Tebow CURE Hospital in the Philippines has conducted over 24,000 patient visits, performed over 4,400 procedures, and witnessed over 10,400 expressions of faith in Jesus Christ since opening its doors in 2015.
10 Timmy's Playrooms have opened their doors in hospitals across the United States, as well as an additional location at the Tebow CURE Hospital in the Philippines. These rooms are designed to provide an atmosphere of healing through play for children facing extreme medical challenges.
TTF currently partners with ministries in Haiti, Mexico, and Uganda as they provide physical and spiritual care to orphans and at-risk families, as well as implement programming to support family preservation and reunification.
112 children have come home to their forever families through the help of a TTF Adoption Aid grant. To date, 163 grants have been awarded to families who have made the courageous choice to internationally adopt a child with special needs.
TTF escalated the fight against human trafficking through awareness, rescue operations, and survivor care in 2020, fortified by the investment of thousands of supporters across the globe. TTF also recently formally united with Her Song to further develop efforts in our organization's hometown and grow their excellent care throughout the nation and around the world.
"Every person on earth is created in the image of God—uniquely, beautifully, and perfectly. Their value is priceless." - Tim Tebow
