🌼 About Tanya’s Garden of Dayzees

A Safe Haven Grown from Love, Faith, and Purpose

My name is La Tanya — a teen who overcame childhood trauma in the heart of Los Angeles and, by God’s grace, was transformed into a woman walking boldly in her purpose. Today, I serve as a Bus Operator, a Resource Parent, and the founder of Tanya’s Garden of Dayzees.

I am living proof of what love, faith, and second chances can do. I am the example I want to see in the world — showing foster youth that healing is possible, and showing fellow caregivers that they are not alone.

Tanya’s Garden of Dayzees was born from my desire to give back to the community that raised me. It’s a space where foster girls — my "Little Dayzees" — are seen, supported, and empowered, and where resource families receive the care and encouragement they so often give to others.

Through mentorship, education, life skills, and meaningful moments like our Annual Debutante Ball, we help young girls blossom into who they were always meant to be. And for the amazing resource parents who walk this journey, we offer practical support, family getaways, and essential household needs — because when caregivers are supported, children thrive.

🌼 Our Next Chapter: A Home of Hope

We are now launching a campaign to purchase a home that will serve two critical roles:

  • A daycare for foster children, offering resource parents a place to rest, recharge, and trust that their children are safe, loved, and cared for.

  • A home for emergency placements, where foster children in crisis can receive immediate, compassionate care in a warm and stable environment.

This home will be more than a shelter — it will be a sanctuary. A place rooted in love, faith, and safety. A place where children can breathe, heal, and grow.

We’re currently raising funds to cover closing costs to bring this dream to life. Your support helps us open these doors — and open our hearts even wider.

By supporting Tanya’s Garden of Dayzees, you are planting seeds of hope that will bloom for generations to come.
Thank you for standing with us — and with the beautiful futures our Dayzees deserve.

With love and purpose,
