| From back-to-school smiles to veteran support and strong community ties, this month we’re celebrating the many ways your compassion helps families thrive. Keep reading to meet the people behind the mission and discover how you’re making a lasting difference, one family at a time. |
A Veteran Family Finds Stability and a Place to Call Home
Discover how D’Andre and Erica, Navy veterans, faced homelessness, even living in their car, after transitioning to civilian life with their family.
With help from volunteers and donors like YOU, they secured stable housing and a place their young daughter can truly call home.
We Helped the Batemon Family— Now Help Us Help Others
Minty’s smile says it all—her brand new backpack means she’s ready to learn, grow, and start the school year with confidence. For families like the Batemons, something as simple as school supplies can lift a huge weight.
You can help without even leaving your couch by grabbing the last few items from our Amazon wishlist. Help us make a difference.
