Making Progress - Assisting One Child At A Time
We measure our success by the number of children whose lives are touched by our efforts each year. Houston Children’s Charity is served by its Founder, President & CEO Laura Ward, and a steadfast Board of Directors who carefully steward the resources of our donors to efficiently and effectively meet the needs of Houston’s children.
With an ambitious goal to leave no legitimate request for assistance unanswered, we seek to expand our base of support through dedicated sponsors and committed volunteers to strengthen our ability to help children. Our supporters come from all walks of life and understand that caring means giving of themselves. There are numerous ways to be a part of our work.

Overwhelmed with gratitude by the support of our sponsors, partners and volunteers who made our 2025 Chariots for Children van distribution a huge success!
Yesterday, we distributed 66 wheelchair-accessible vans to deserving families to improve their children’s quality of life. 🌟 Meet some of those families. 🌟
Since 1996, we’ve proudly given 438 vans, and with each one, we witness the power of community and compassion in action.
Thank you for helping us make a difference.

A heartfelt thank you to The Petersen Family and John L. Nau, III who each sponsored 5 wheelchair-accessible vans, as well as The Guill Family who sponsored 4 wheelchair-accessible vans through our Chariots for Children program. 🚐 💙
Today, they met those children and families. These moments on stage were deeply moving, filled with emotion, heartfelt smiles, and stories that left a lasting imprint on their hearts.
Thank you each again for your incredible support of our mission and making mobility possible for these deserving families.

THANK YOU to The Fant Foundation with Love for your extraordinary generosity! 🙏
Because of your heart and support, 30 wheelchair-accessible vans are now in the hands of families with disabled and wheelchair-bound children—changing lives with the Gift of Mobility. 🚐✨
Your donation brings safe and efficient transportation to those who never had access before. For these families, this isn’t just a vehicle—it’s freedom, dignity, and a future full of new possibilities.
This contribution is truly life-altering. Today, Jana and Richard Fant met the 30 children and families they have forever blessed.
From all of us at Houston Children’s Charity and the Chariots for Children program, thank you for believing in our mission and making mobility possible. 💙

A GREAT DAY IN MAY 🌟
It was a historic day in Houston as we made history by distributing over 66 wheelchair-accessible vans to families in need. This wasn’t just about transportation - it was about giving families independence, freedom, and hope.
Our Chariots for Children van distribution event was filled with many special moments, made possible by the unwavering support of our incredible sponsors, dedicated partners, and selfless volunteers.
Special thanks to:
🌟 Texas First Lady Cecilia Abbott for being with us - your presence at our event brought encouragement, visibility, and heartfelt support to the families we serve.
🌟 Tilman Fertitta, Ambassador of the United States to the Italian Republic and the Republic of San Marino, Founding Board Member of Houston Children’s Charity and current HCC Chairman of the Board for always lending your support and guidance!
🌟 Houston Mayor John Whitmire, thank you for standing with us, presenting a proclamation to HCC and uplifting our mission.
Together, we truly changed lives!

Witnessing a 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 van distribution is a beautiful experience! When a family receives a 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞-𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐚𝐧, they are provided with 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 for their family. It relieves the worry of being able to travel with their wheelchair bound child. Everyone at HCC and our amazing van sponsors are honored to help these families go on new adventures! ❤️🚐
