The Need for Family Services
Usually, we are not prepared to handle life’s unexpected situations alone. We approach our family and close friends for support and assistance. At times, we may find that we do not have the necessary resources within this small circle – either due to a lack of relevant skills or due to the constraints of time and distance. We plan to expand this circle via Family Services in order to empower the community to meet their urgent needs.

Our Goal:

To help individuals and families get through difficult times or crisis by providing immediate access to information, resources or any adequate support to the families in emergency situations, so that they get caring and compassionate help in difficult times and get through the crisis with less stress.

We aim to

  • Create a support structure.
  • Create a support structure for the community and by the community to help facilitate people in need by providing information or by providing a volunteer that can help.
  • Create an information repository.
  • Provide a helpline number.
  • Build a local database of volunteers.
  • Build a pool of volunteers who have the passion and sense to help those community members in need.
  • Network with others.
We collaborate with other service agencies and community organizations within the community to enlist their help when the need arises.

Areas we serve:

  • Health/Medical processes Guidance
  • Family Support
  • Crisis Support
  • Health Insurance & Other Service Access
  • Food preparation & Meal Delivery
  • Transportation for medical necessities
  • Operational Support

How can you help ?
