Adopt an AADD Family for the Holidays!

Betty is a single mother of four children who is living with a developmental disability. Before Betty came to AADD three years ago, she was unemployed and had lost her children to the court system. Today, with AADD's help, Betty has found a job at Kroger, is involved with AADD parenting support groups and has been reunited with her children. In her spare time, Betty enjoys spending time with her children, watching movies and going out to eat when she can.

Despite all of the positive changes in Betty's life, she does not have the resources to provide for her children during the holiday season. Betty is a caring mother who remains optimistic that her life will continue to change for the better. She dreams of one day owning a home and living independently with her children.

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

AADD still has nine families who want to be adopted for the holiday season! You can help make holiday wishes come true for Betty 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.

Your support will help meet the basic needs of every family we serve for the holiday season. It is only through the generosity of people like you that 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 suzie@aadd.org or (404) 881-9777 extension 205.
