About I LOVE YOU FOUNDATION
Our History
The I Love You Foundation was founded by Dienesia Paynes, a former foster kid and survivor who knows firsthand the struggles of aging out of the system with little to no support. Too many young adults leave foster care unprepared for the real world, facing homelessness, unemployment, and a lack of resources.
Our mission is to change that. The I Love You Foundation provides housing assistance, job training, mentorship, and life skills development to help former foster youth transition into stable, independent lives. We are committed to making sure no one has to navigate adulthood alone simply because the system let them go.
This foundation is more than just support—it’s a movement to break the cycle and give foster youth the opportunities they deserve. Because love, guidance, and hope shouldn’t stop when the system does.The I Love You Foundation was founded by Dienesia Paynes, a former foster kid and survivor who knows firsthand the struggles of aging out of the system with little to no support.
