Sophia’s Mission is a 501(c)(3) public charity registered with the state of California. We provide financial assistance to help ensure that those in need have access to basic resources such as food, clothing and medical care.
Why We’re Here
We founded the mission in February 2020 for one single, lasting purpose: to share love and compassion, especially where it might sometimes seem beyond reach.
Our efforts are inspired by the memory of a beautiful young girl named Sophia who was diagnosed with a rare condition known as LMNA muscular dystrophy. She lost her battle with the disease just after her fifth birthday, but the light she brought to the world remains through those whose lives she touched. We are devoted to keeping it lit so that others might be moved by it as well.
Who We Are
Sophia’s Mission is staffed by unpaid volunteers with their own professional careers who share their skills for our charitable efforts and administration.
