Adopt an AADD Family for the Holidays!

Tara is a single mother of three children who is living with a developmental disability.  Before Tara came to AADD four years ago, she was homeless, using drugs and living with the pain of sickle cell anemia.  Today, with AADD's help, Tara has moved into an apartment, receives SSI (Supplemental Security Income), is involved with WAVE (Women Against Violence and Exploitation) and AADD parenting support groups.  She has been drug-free for four years.  In her spare time, Tara enjoys spending time with her children, attending church services, watching movies and going out to eat when she can.

Despite all of the positive changes in Tara's life, she is still unemployed and does not have the resources to provide for her children during the holiday season.  Tara is a sweet mother who remains optimistic that her life will continue to change for the better.  She dreams of learning to become a better reader and going to college.

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

AADD still has 14 families who need to be adopted for the holiday season!  You can help make holiday wishes come true for Tara 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.
