You can help change the life of a Family today!
There are hundreds of families and over 1,000 children living without a home in St. Tammany Parish today. Most of these families have hard-working parents who simply can’t make ends meet to pay their rent or mortgage. At Family Promise we're doing everything we can to help these families and their children, get back on their feet, emotionally, financially, mentally & spiritually.
My gratefulness keeps pouring out of my eyes! I am so thankful for all of you & what you do. I could never put it into words that even come close to measuring up!! You know, losing a child is a scary, painful thing, but if you have faith, you can have an acceptance & peace about it. When you have 2 more in tow & facing homelessness here in this world, to me that has been scarier. I feel like I can finally breathe again & know that my children are alright & are going to be alright moving forward & that's because of Family Promise. Thank you so much!!
