About This Cause
At M.D.L.A.Y.A.F.S. Inc., we believe every child, teen, young adult, and family deserves opportunities that foster growth, resilience, and joy. Rooted in the heart of New York City’s urban communities, our mission is to empower disadvantaged youth and families by providing engaging educational programs, enriching recreational activities, and essential community resources that pave the way for a brighter future. We stand as a pillar of hope and transformation, committed to breaking cycles of hardship through direct support, advocacy, and outreach. We recognize that poverty, lack of resources, and limited opportunities can create significant barriers for young individuals and families. That’s why we work tirelessly to bridge those gaps, offering holistic, community-driven solutions that promote self-sufficiency, strengthen family bonds, and inspire long-term success. A Legacy of Giving: The 17th Annual Wish Giving Program As the holiday season approaches, our Wish Giving Program stands as a cornerstone of hope and generosity, celebrating 17 years of bringing joy to underprivileged youth, teens, adults, and seniors. This initiative goes beyond just gift-giving; it is a lifeline for those who might otherwise experience isolation, hardship, or loss during what should be the most joyous time of the year. Through deep community collaboration, we work alongside local donors, businesses, and dedicated volunteers to grant meaningful wishes tailored to the unique aspirations of each recipient. Whether it’s a toy for a child, warm clothing for a struggling teen, or a comforting meal for a senior in need, each act of kindness reinforces the values of compassion, dignity, and shared humanity. Our commitment to this program extends far beyond the holiday season—it reflects our core belief that every individual deserves to feel valued, supported, and part of a larger community that cares. Empowering Youth Through Education, Employment, and Enrichment At M.D.L.A.Y.A.F.S.

Annual Youth Travel Experience: We select 10 deserving youth annually for a weeklong educational and cultural field trip to explore new cities, taste diverse cuisines, visit museums, and engage in life-changing experiences beyond their neighborhoods. By removing barriers to opportunity, we help young people gain confidence, explore new possibilities, and take meaningful steps toward a better future.
