Adopt an AADD Family for the Holidays!

Lakela is a single mother of six children who is living with a developmental disability.  Before she came to AADD, she was homeless, using drugs, and had lost her children to the court system because of her addiction. Today, with AADD's help, she has moved into an apartment, been drug-free for two years, and trained in custodial work at Good Will.

Despite all of the positive changes in Lakela's life, she is still unemployed and has no other income except the $200 she receives each month in food stamps. Lakela remains optimistic that her life will continue to change for the better. She dreams that she will one day be reunited with all of her children and will be able to support them with a steady job.

Lakela's only holiday wish is to provide gifts for her children.

You can help make holiday wishes come true for Lakela and others like her through AADD's Annual Holiday Adopt a Family initiative. When you adopt an AADD family, you will give the gift of joy to some very deserving families living with developmental disabilities. Your donations of food, gift cards, clothing, toys, and household essentials will create a holiday celebration that will be remembered for years to come.

With your support, we can help meet the basic needs of every family we serve for the holiday season. It is only through the generosity of people like you we can make this happen. To learn how you can sponsor one of the amazing families AADD is proud to serve, please contact Suzie Fatkin at (404) 881-9777 extension 205.
