ABOUT US
Every child deserves the chance to write their own story — not one shaped by circumstances they never chose.
It's Our Little Story exists for young people who've faced abuse, neglect, or instability, and who are ready to take the pen back. Through programs like Life Skills and Financial Literacy, we give kids and teens the tools, mentorship, and stability to imagine — and build — a different future.
We believe that with the right support and belief in their potential, at-risk children can break the cycles that have held their families back for generations. Every donation, every volunteer hour, and every mentor relationship writes the next chapter.
WHO WE ARE
It’s Our Little Story is a non-profit organization whose mission is to educate and empower abused, neglected, and at-risk youth, by providing them with the tools and resources to; develop necessary life skills, reach their full potential into adulthood, and break the cycle of abuse.
“Society must remember that children are the future. All children. We must invest in all of them, not just our own children. We must show them how much they are needed and loved. We must show all children humility & compassion, give them dignity, foster them with love & patience, educate & empower them, so in turn they can break the cycle of abuse or neglect they may have endured and perpetuate a cycle of love & acceptance to others.”
-Maebelle Obispo, CEO

Hello
My name is Maebelle Obispo
I am passionate about empowering our youth as well as teaching women about strength through kickboxing and jiu jitsu as a certified instructor. I wanted to help kids like me (in the system) change the narrative of their lives
Our Team
Our board is made up of 4 passionate volunteers with their own unique perspective on ways to help children thrive in life. Though we are a small group, we bring dedication, support, and enrichment to the local community so each child we serve has the tools to be successful.
