OOPS! Foundation is a youth development nonprofit that fosters self-confidence, leadership skills, and positive decision making in underserved youth at risk youth. OOPS! Foundation was created to help highly at-risk adolescents break cycles of negative risk-taking, violence and addiction. Our initiative relies heavily on community relations and best practices through the use of evidence based programs adolescents learn strategies to carve out a new way of life – helping them emerge with a new sense of self and a positive future orientation.
In 1980, hospice care in Wilmington started with a 28 year old nursing student named Sandy Morgan. She and her husband were among our first volunteers. Sandy dreamed of a life of helping others. She didn’t know she would become our first patient, or that her illness and her journey would inspire a nearly forty-year legacy that is at the core of our mission to this day – to provide the highest level of care and comfort to patients with life-limiting illness; support and counseling to families; and education to the community.
