The Season of Giving, The Season of Joy
This holiday season, join Oasis for Girls dedicated community of supporters

Every year we touch the lives of over 160 girls and young women who find a home and find themselves at Oasis.

I can't imagine how my life would be different if I hadn't joined Oasis for Girls. [Without you,] I wouldn't have met my tutor/mentor. Without Oasis, I think I would have been too afraid to apply to colleges [outside] of San Francisco. But you made sure that I wouldn't settle for less than I was worth. Thank you giving me the chance to become a leader in my community. -Cindy, 19 now attending UC Santa Cruz
