With compassion at our core, we honor Aaliyah’s spirit by nurturing growth, strength, and community resilience.
WELCOME
The Aaliyah Rose Foundation was created to honor the life and legacy of Aaliyah Rose — a vibrant, resilient young woman who spent seven years in foster care and was on the path to adoption before her tragic death in September 2024.
​
Our mission is to empower individuals and strengthen communities through compassion, education, and support. We provide resources, scholarships, and direct assistance to those in need — with a focus on creating opportunities for personal and academic growth.
​
Through every act of kindness, every life we uplift, we carry forward Aaliyah’s spirit — building a legacy of resilience, hope, and love that continues to inspire future generations.
