Story

1 Child

We are preparing “again” to celebrate our Caregivers of the Year for 2025 with our hometown Atlanta Braves at their stadium (Truist Park) and we need your help. Our caregivers work so hard to care for these children, this is a great opportunity to bless a local family. The game will take place on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at 4:10 p.m. One of our Braves’ event activities is to find a youth to serve as the “Honorary Team Captain.” Additional funds are needed to cover expenses for meals/snacks while at the game. This can be paid with a VISA giftcard.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The client is a 38-year-old father of three children, ages five, four, and one. Approximately eight months ago, the client and his spouse separated. Following the separation, the client and his children found themselves to be in a desperate situation. The family currently reside with the paternal grandmother, who serves as their primary support system. The client takes on gig work when possible; however, he is unable to secure consistent hours due to childcare limitations. His mother, who is elderly, struggles to manage the daily care of three young, active children on her own. The client is without a car and relies on public transportation. The children’s mother has disengaged completely. Despite these difficulties, the client is actively working toward stability. He is currently recovering from alcohol use and regularly attends weekly counseling and support meetings. He is working with community support networks to obtain reliable childcare, which would allow him to pursue steady employment. The client is seeking assistance with clothing for the children, as they were left with the bare minimal following the separation. A bus pass, which would enable him to access job opportunities. The client wants to work and provide for his children. The client would be appreciative of any assistance that can be provided. Note: The family is open to gently worn children's clothes. Girls: 18-24 Months, Girls 4T (Shoe size 7.5 youth) Boys 6t or 7t (Shoes-11.5)

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

The relative caregivers are both disabled with fixed income and are unable to afford to buy their nephew a bed. Child’s current twin bed is a mattress set only, laying on the floor, and is very worn out. They live in a singlewide mobile home that is being renovated but ran out of funds to complete the renovation due to their very serious health issues. They have had the child in their care for approximately 6 years. These caregivers appreciate any help with getting a twin bed frame and mattress for their 17-year-old male nephew.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A mother and father of 5 children, ages 5, 2, 1, and a set of 4 month old twins that were born prematurely, are in desperate need of grocery assistance. The family moved here from Michigan about 6 months ago and 4 months ago, the twins were born prematurely. Mom is unable to work at this time, so they are extremely tight for money and food insecurity is becoming a greater concern. A gift card to Walmart or King Soopers in the amount of $300 would be a massive help to this young family in their time of need. Thank you so much for your consideration!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I would like to say “thank you” on behalf of my family. Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated. I know that this is a temporary situation because I will be back in the workforce as soon as we get the support we need to get going. My story is long, but I will make it as concise as possible. When I got married to my wife, she had a boy, whom I love dearly. He is on the autism spectrum. I bring him up because everything that is going on is hardest on him. I had a job selling cars, and I made many sales, but what was promised was not paid. I lost several months giving my all to a job that did not cover my bills. I got a new job driving a school bus. At that time, we were living in my father’s house. That’s when the twins arrived. This was too much for him. He was always in a bad mood. His temper always got the better of him. We were afraid for the babies. M and J were afraid to be there when I wasn’t there, and I was afraid for them. One night he just cam in to the room screaming at my wife saying what s going on since the babies were crying and Meghan was getting frustrated with the babies he seemed like he was ready to hit one of us how angry he seemed .at the the time we were holding the babies I had to make a hard decision to keep my family safe cause it would of just gotten worse. We left to stay at a friend’s house, where we are now....but we have to leave very soon. Now we have no income and no savings. Thank you again for listening and all of your help.
