Experience the Heart of Our Mission Through Our Song

"We Are Loved" by Kenny Simmons & Phoenix Atlantic Entertainment

We are proud to share the powerful We Are Loved song, written, produced, and performed by our longtime volunteer and foster parent, Kenny Simmons. This heartfelt song and music video captures the essence of our mission—fostering hope, resilience, and a deep sense of belonging for children in foster care.


Through every lyric and note, this song reminds us of the transformative power of compassion and community. Join us in celebrating this special tribute, and feel the impact of our mission in a whole new way. Watch, listen, and share to help spread our message of love and support.


Kenny's journey as a musician began in New York City and soared when he joined The Commodores as a vocalist and percussionist. Through his extensive career, he’s performed with industry legends and toured globally with The Fabulous Infernos, America’s #1 Show Band. As a devoted foster parent, Kenny has been deeply involved with We Are Loved from its inception, alongside his family. 


Reflecting on his experience, Kenny shared, 

"We have never met anyone with such a tremendously infectious personality as Mrs. Phyllis DiNardi. From the concept of her granddaughter’s drawing of two hands forming a heart to the beautiful gifts, gracious hospitality, knowledgeable workshops, and outstanding events, this foundation has been a lifeline for our family. Mrs. DiNardi, the staff, and volunteers are a true blessing to resource parents and children in care. 'We Are Loved' should be held high as a symbol of what people can do when leading with kindness, love, and their hearts.”
