The leaves have changed and begun to fall, reminding us that winter is on the horizon. For many families, winter presents more challenges, including providing heat, reliable transportation, and warm clothing. At this time of year, we typically see a rise in need and are happy to help our kinship families make ends meet as they provide the children in their care with a warm and safe home.
HERO SPOTLIGHT: Ava
"Hi, my name is Avah. I am 11 years old, and I live with my grandmother. My grandma has been raising my sister and I for a very long time by herself. I feel very lucky to have a grandma who cares and loves me and was able to take on the challenge of raising me and my sister.
I have been wanting to be on a swim team for a long time but my grandma has never been able to afford it, so I am saying thank you to Step Up Parents for giving me the money so I can be on the swim team. When I swim, I feel very confident and good about myself and strong. Thank you."
