Organization Overview:  At AMER, our goal is to provide the highest standard of family based care for vulnerable children. This will ensure their immediate safety and welfare and will provide an environment, which will allow them the opportunity to develop as individuals to reach their full potential and prepare them for a successful adult life. Abused and neglected children are voiceless; they have no say or power to defend them. We at AMER will speak for the voiceless and let the world know that they have representatives whom will fight for and protect them. Our plan is to provide a safe, loving, and familiar surrounding that fit in the best interest of the child.​
