Founding Story

Invictus Spirit came to life from a heartfelt conviction that kindness and resilience dwell in every soul. We see a spark of unyielding perseverance in the eyes of many underprivileged children, and our mission is to fan that spark into a flame that keeps shining brightly. It's not just our hope; it's our promise to stand by them, lighting the way to a future filled with potential.

How We Started

Invictus Spirit's journey began with a simple yet profound realization: a small investment in the right place can make a big difference. The understanding of how American dollars could stretch further in places like Vietnam & Thailand ignited the idea to help more children in more impactful ways.

What This Means to Us

Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. Invictus Spirit Foundation, Inc. emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words.
