Our Mission
The mission of Foster Angels is to improve the lives of children in foster care ensuring each child has their basic needs met and providing life-enhancing, life-enriching opportunities whenever possible.
See how we carry out our mission every day.
How We Started
In 1999 Ted Oakley sought out to impact the lives of children in the care of Child Protective Services when he founded Foster Angels of South Texas. 11 years later, Ted’s daughter, Sarah Smith, saw the same needs of children appearing in Austin during her career as a teacher and so Foster Angels of Central Texas was founded in 2010.
