Janeese Goldman’s Story

Janeese Goldman founded Karla’s Kompanions in honor of her late mother, as a way to give back to the community. Karla’s Kompanions is a valued partner of SCO, supporting several initiatives that directly benefit the individuals and families we serve.

Most recently, Karla’s Kompanions donated supplies to last year’s Back-to-School Drive, helping ensure students had the materials they needed to start the school year prepared and confident. They also adopted our Morris Koppelman Early Childhood Education Center by sponsoring their Holiday Wishlist, generously providing holiday gifts for the children and families in the program.

“We discovered SCO while looking for ways to give back to the community and were connected to one of the SCO staff members. After learning about the many ways SCO supports such a wide range of individuals in diverse situations, we felt a strong connection to its mission—one that closely aligned with the causes that were so important to my mother during her life. Being able to support our local community in any way we can, and to help bring joy, motivation, love, a sense of worth, and support toward success in life, means so much to us.” – Janeese Goldman, Karla’s Kompanions

New York Life’s Story

New York Life Insurance Company was eager to give back to children and youth in our foster care programs. They generously donated 33 Sweet Case bags, each thoughtfully filled with a blanket, toothbrush set, coloring book, and crayons, as a way to help make transitions—whether entering or exiting a program—a bit more comfortable and dignified.
