What is F.A.A.P. you ask? F.A.A.P. stands for Family Assistance & Adoption Program. It is a small, private, non-profit
organization I have started to help the needy families in my community. I am hoping that one day soon, I can raise enough
funds to get the organization state and federally licensed, so that I may solit donations, and hopefully spread the program
nationwide! THIS IS MY BRAINCHILD and I hope to see it flourish!
What does F.A.A.P. do? Well, F.A.A.P. is just like it says... Families receive assistance with the necessities of life
until they are adopted by a sponser family. F.A.A.P. matches needy/low income families who cannot make ends meet to a sponser
family to help them until they get back on thier feet. F.A.A.P. helps the families apply for state and federal aid, gives
them valuable resources for finding gainful employment, and helps with the necessities until a sponser family can be matched.
F.A.A.P. helps to provide handmade clothing, food, household goods, gifts during the holidays, etc. to each family who
fills out the application and qualifies for assistance. Once the family exceeds the qualifications for the program, they are
"let loose" into their new productive lives, at which time a spot opens for another needy family. F.A.A.P. also mails in a
set of rebates for each household, providing them with a little bit of "petty cash" for things they might need or want.
I currently have 14 families on my F.A.A.P. roster, and have had up to 22 at one time. I have gotten very close to many
of these families and the gratitude that they show is very heartwarming and appreciated. I hope that I can continue to do
this for many many years to come. It has been a long, hard road, but WELL worth the effort! Thanks to all of you who have
helped along the way with your generousity of gifts, paypal, and support! It's meant alot!!! Support is continually needed,
so just email me if you are interested in giving a "gift"! Thanks!
