About For Gloria
For Gloria is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to caring for orphans, widows, and the underprivileged through the unconditional love of Christ.
The name "For Gloria" carries a double meaning. First, it's a reflection of our purpose: to give God the glory. Second, it honors the life of a real person - Gloria, a girl with a severe mental disability, and the sister of our founder, Daniel Kao.
Though Gloria could never communicate or reciprocate love in ways the world typically measures, her life planted something lasting in her brother. Caring for her taught Daniel compassion at an early age - a compassion that has never left him.
More than 35 years later, that same compassion has shaped a company of over 80 people and now fuels support for more than 20 organizations across 10 countries, month after month, year after year.
Many might have looked at Gloria's life and seen limitation. Instead, her life became the seed of a mission that now touches thousands of lives around the world. It's proof of something we believe deeply: every human being carries infinite, immeasurable value - not because of what they can do, but because of who made them.
As Psalm 139 says:
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
