About Us

The Oehling Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded with a primary mission of supporting low-income families and individuals in Pittsburgh, PA that had gone missing. The Foundation connects families with dedicated volunteers who assist with case participation and provide access to mental health counseling. The Oehling Foundation was inspired by the disappearance of Kaylene Oehling in January 2020, a victim of domestic violence. Kaylene’s case was overlooked and justice was never served; her story became the driving force behind the foundation’s mission and critical work on her case. TOF was established in late 2021 by Gavin Scarantine and Hailey Oehling to address the lack of resources and representation available to disadvantaged families. The Oehling Foundation is not a law-enforcement or private investigative agency.

​

Concluding in August 2026, The Oehling Foundation will close its doors for good.
