Odd Minds Foundation was born with absolute commitment and tremendous drive.
We are a group of enthusiasts who decided it was high time to roll up their sleeves, give their very best, and do something meaningful.
We support children from the care system and children with disabilities, helping them dream boldly, learn new skills, and grow in a better environment.
Our mission is to change the way children see the world — and above all, how they see themselves. To show them the future can be bright, to help them find their professional path, to prove that their dreams are achievable and that there are people who believe in them.
We know the path won't be easy. But that's exactly why the victories will be all the sweeter.
Founder
My son started speaking at nearly 4 years old and searching for answers, understanding, and help was incredibly difficult. It was also quite enriching — I read 10+ books on autism and ADHD, studied various therapies, attended courses and conferences, and met many people for whom the topic matters.
My experience putting what I learned into practice was very positive and hopeful.
I strongly believe that care, combined with knowledge and love, can change a child's life. And since I've come to believe that, I want to invest myself in this mission and help different children have a better life.
Co-founder & Marketing
I became a mother and a new superpower was activated — not just searching for lost socks and building block pieces, but also wanting to change the environment around me. Or at least a small part of it. That's why I joined Odd Minds Foundation — because here we do something real. We help children who deserve a happy childhood, not just survival. It's not easy, it's not glamorous, but it's meaningful to the point of tears. And that's exactly what makes it real.
Co-founder
I do it because I believe that difference is not an obstacle, but a gift.
It all started with a magical child — a child with autism who showed me that the world can be quieter, deeper, and more real. Meeting them changed the way I see love, human connection, and what it means to be accepted.
Odd Minds Foundation is my way of giving back that light — to create a place where children without parental care and children with different development feel seen, loved, and valued.
Because I believe that different minds teach us humanity, patience, and love — and that the world needs them to become a better place.
Co-founder
When she was a child, my mother spent a year in a home for abandoned children — the stories she told me about that period were more than horrifying. Many years have passed since then, the system is far better than it used to be, yet even today not every child has the opportunity to develop and choose their future.
My involvement with the foundation is my personal way of transforming compassion into action and focusing my efforts on a long-term, effective cause.
I see how contagious enthusiasm and the desire to do good can be, and I genuinely hope we will together have the opportunity to contribute to change.
