Atlanta

Family #47: 2 kids
This kinship placement is a single grandmother with her 2 grandchildren– an 11 y/o boy and an 8 y/o girl. In order to support her grandchildren, the caregiver moved down to GA from Myrtle Beach and works 2 different jobs both days and nights. She is intentional about taking time off every 2-3 weeks to spend time with her grandchildren, but they are not able to go out in the community to parks and events as often as they’d like due to rising safety concerns in her neighborhood. The kiddos are a fun loving and active bunch, and this family will thrive with someone who can help them get better connected with safe community groups and events and as the relationship grows, occasional babysitting to provide the caregiver with some self-care time.

Ellenwood

Family #21: 6 kids
This single foster mama has been fostering for over 25 years! She’s only been in Georgia for about a year and would love to build up her community. There are six youth in the home, ranging in age from 3 to 14. A giver at her core, this foster mom would thrive with an individual or group willing to integrate themselves into her home. In particular, she would love someone to help out with care packages each month and spend time with the little ones!
​
Family #24: 4 kids
When one of our case managers first visited this foster mom, she had her hands full with three young siblings all under the age of 5, laundry, and had multiple calls with Case Workers! Her and her husband are an elderly couple, and she rarely receives support in caring for the children, the home, and even herself (she loves to cook but finding the time to feed herself can be difficult!) The caregivers also adopted their 8 y/o son from care.
This family would greatly benefit from a LB leader, or multiple people working together, to drop off meals, household supplies, and assist in providing an extra hand to clean, do laundry, and whatever else  they may need help with!

Forest Park

Family #29: 5 kids
This single foster mom has been fostering for 12 years and has a special knack for fostering teenage girls. She feels that fostering comes easy to her now but could still use some breaks. She’d love someone to come over and hang out with the girls so she can get some time away! The kiddos in the home are 11, 13, 15, 17 and 17 y/o. Several of the kids would like to work in the medical field, specifically becoming neurosurgeons and nurses.

Jonesboro

Family #78: 7 kids
This foster mama has been fostering for almost a decade and typically has 2-5 youth in care in her home. She accepts mostly teenagers and for the past several months has only accepted teenage boys. She does a beautiful job of normalizing their experiences while bringing structure and flexibility to their lives. She also has several bio children, 3 of whom still live with her. She is private and will benefit from being matched with a volunteer who is a direct communicator and will make an active effort to integrate into this family’s existing community.
