It is this time of year again. Below is a family in need for the holiday. I will be accepting donations starting Tuesday 11/23 through Friday 12/17. I found this family through the Leading Families Homes website.
There you can click adopt a family. I choose this family to help this year. I will be posting this on the MCS Facebook and putting out flyers. You can donate gifts, cash, gift cards, food. If you donate cash, I can buy a toy or food item if you wish not to shop. I can also wrap the gifts you wish not to wrap.
Below is their family picture, and their story along with their Amazon wish list that can also be found on the Leading Family Homes website.
This is a single dad with two kids. He's trying to make it on his own. His wife left their family due to a substance use issue, and he was left to raise his daughter and son alone. When he came to our shelter, he didn't know how to do his daughter's hair or pack his son's lunch. Today, he has a full-time job, a home for his children, and he's active in our behavioral health, education, and economic programs. We've seen growth, but rarely like this. Through it all, he's been resilient, calm, and determined. He hasn't given up, and his children are better for it. In fact, they are happy, healthy, safe, well-cared-for, and some of the most curious and imaginative kids we've ever seen. This dad has come a long way from the shy, uncertain father he was at first to the courageous, strong, and confident man he's become. We're proud to be a part of his journey.
