About G 's family

Hope for the Holidays

This family of seven shares an amazing bond of love, connection, and support. Over the last year, mom has removed herself and her six children from an abusive relationship. Mom reached out to Firefly for support in breaking the cycle of violence. She has since secured a safe home and provided for her children’s emotional needs by securing therapy for them and herself. Mom has received advocate support in navigating the justice system. It is a great joy to watch this family support each other by always giving each other words of encouragement, help around the house, and help each other with homework. The older siblings even provide financially for some of the family’s needs. The family is very excited that they will be safe for the holiday. This family loves everything Star Wars and would love a Star Wars puzzle or games they can play together as one big family.
