Bahl founded the Society, to show people that we can make a difference by helping those who are less fortunate than ourselves.

Special needs children have gained access to specialized walkers, van and porch lifts, communication devices, food, clothing, playgrounds, and the Annual Santa’s Express. Internationally, we have helped with water wells, educational supplies, toys, and have been able to build & support several orphanages and schools. 90% of our funding comes in the form of private and corporate donations.
