Aptos Adopt-A-Family—22 Years of Providing for Families in Times of Hardship
Over the years there have been hundreds of stories, and thousands of gifts. Gifts of wheelchairs, a handicap accessible van, lifts, food, clothes, toys bikes, rent, phone bills, physical therapy—gifts that helped a family to enjoy the holidays. One year Adopt-A-Family was able to donate a $4,000 wheelchair lift to a local family. Trees, turkeys, gift certificates—whole neighborhoods have adopted families! Girl Scouts have adopted families. Churches, parents, those who could only give one toy and those who could provide a sizable check…it has been amazing! We live in a very generous community.
Aptos Adopt-A-Family focuses primarily on families having financial challenges due to medical catastrophe within their family. Death or illness in a family is devastating and can emotionally and financially cripple. Our program can step in, find someone to adopt the family, and help out with needed medical equipment, home care, etc.
Please give us a call to find out how you can adopt a family this year or how you can help make this a Merry Christmas for one of our families by donating to the program. If you know of a family in need, don’t hesitate to call us to refer them. All referrals are confidential.
