Turning compassion into action.

Our Mission

The Art of Giving Love and Light Foundation exists to support children, families, and communities facing hardship — combining immediate humanitarian assistance with sustainable, dignity-centered solutions.

Founded by Nelis and David Helfman, the Foundation is committed to protecting the vulnerable and inspiring others to see what they, too, can give.

About the Founders

Nelis Helfman brings a career in healthcare — as founder and CEO of a U.S. healthcare company, and through her work supporting U.S. veterans — together with years of hands-on humanitarian service, including missions to India that shaped her commitment to protecting children and vulnerable families. Her husband and co-founder, Dr. David Helfman, is a physician with decades of experience in medicine and surgery, and has long been active in medical education as a lecturer and writer. Together, they founded The Art of Giving Love and Light Foundation to turn that compassion into direct, sustainable action for communities in need.
