About Us

Sweet Deeds Foundation is named in honor of Ly and Dana Tran’s late son, Aaron Josiah, who was affectionately nicknamed “Deeds.” It was formed with the dream of carrying on the work Aaron’s parents envisioned he would one day do.

We are inspired by a desire to make a difference in the world around us, seeking to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

"We love because He first loved us”

— 1 John 4:19

The Need

There’s a crisis of mental, emotional, and relational health. Many need mental health care but don’t have access.

Many people don’t have sufficient insurance coverage for mental health. And traditional nonprofits offering free mental health care must contend with limitations in scalability and sustainability.

Our Solution

We are pioneering a unique model built upon the power of collaboration.

Our approach leverages the strength of for-profit entities and compelling nonprofit objectives. Bringing together the best of both worlds, we can forge a different approach that produces sustainable and scalable outcomes.

Our Team

We currently work with 45+ therapists representing diverse backgrounds and specialities.

All are clinically-trained and share a commitment to loving our neighbors.
