Every great mission begins with a powerful story. Ours begins with Odane.

A cherished brother, a beloved son, a father to one and a friend to many, Odane’s life was a beacon of potential. He was known for his incredible generosity and a deep love for his community, always ready to lend a hand or share what he had.

On February 1, 2022, his life was tragically and unjustly cut short, leaving a void that could never be filled.

In the face of overwhelming grief, a choice was made: to let sorrow define the future, or to build a legacy worthy of the life that was lost. His family chose to honor his memory not with despair, but with action.

From the depths of personal tragedy, the Odane Cares Foundation was born. This foundation is more than a charity; it is a promise. It is a commitment to extending the same spirit of generosity and community love that defined his life to those who need it most. We operate on the belief that from great pain, a greater purpose can emerge. Every person we help, every community we support, is a part of Odane’s continuing legacy.
