As we celebrate 40 years of impact and serving families in our community, we want to share one story that reminds us why Augusta Partnership for Children exists and why your continued support means everything.
Not long ago, a young mother came to us in crisis. She was pregnant, battling addiction, and without a safe place to call home. With nowhere else to turn, she was desperate for a new beginning, not only for herself, but for her toddler and unborn child. She grew up in a home marked by instability and trauma, where addiction and abuse were part of her earliest memories. With no reliable parental guidance and no positive role models, she entered adulthood without the tools, trust, or support every person deserves.
Through the collaborative efforts supported by Augusta Partnership for Children, she was connected to services that offered more than just shelter. She found a lifeline access to treatment, parenting support, and the compassion of people who believed in her when she couldn’t believe in herself.
Her journey hasn’t been easy, but today, she is thriving in recovery. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy who, thanks to early care and intervention, is now hitting his developmental milestones, smiling, crawling, and exploring the world around him with curiosity and joy. Her oldest son, once overwhelmed by the trauma of instability, is now flourishing in a safe, supportive environment. He laughs more, sleeps better, and is learning how to regulate his emotions, all signs of a brighter future.
This story is one of many. For four decades, Augusta Partnership for Children has been here, building bridges, creating safe spaces, and empowering families to rise.
As we honor our 40th Anniversary, we celebrate you, our community of supporters, partners, and advocates who make stories like this possible. Your belief in our mission changes lives, strengthens families, and builds a better future for every child.
“When you support a family in need, you don’t just change one life, you change generations.”
Join us as we continue this work. Your gift today helps write the next chapter of hope for children and families across our community.
