Embrace-A-Family Holiday Gift Giving Program

It is that time of year again for FasTracKids to embrace a family and participate in the holiday gift giving program.  Please join us to benefit the community this holiday season!

JFS Program Descriptions: Positive Parenting Program (PPP) provides parenting skills training targeted towards low-income and military families throughout San Diego.

Holiday: Christmas                                                             

Family Situation: This is a single mother of 5 children.  This woman escaped an abusive household, and is working very hard at raising her children alone.  She is dedicated to providing them with a safe and happy home life.  She works at a swapmeet and sometimes cleans houses, but it is not enough to pay her bills on time.  Sometimes she has had to ask the school where her children attend for any clothing in their lost and found bin for her children to have.  This mother is very grateful for her children to be able to receive holiday gifts this year and wants her embracer to know how appreciative and thankful she is.
