I’m excited to announce that I’ll be running the 2025 Boston Marathon to raise money for FamilyAid.  FamilyAid is a local organization that provides solutions to family homelessness in Greater Boston, empowering parents and caregivers to secure and sustain housing and build strong foundations for their children’s futures.FamilyAid does a lot of work in Boston and neighboring cities to combat homelessness.  Every donation made goes towards:- Education and training through parenting groups, financial literacy classes, and serving as a teaching site for undergraduate and graduate students- Homelessness prevention through emergency financial assistance- Whole family services through securing childcare, health insurance, employment training, and enrichment programs- Over 150 temporary housing units for families to have a safe place to stay- Homelessness diversion programs through alternative housing resources- Stable housing supports to create bridges from temporary to permanent housing- Family-to-Family Project for a network of families to extend a helping hand- Housing services to families enrolled with Boston Public Schools, Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston Medical Center, and Boston Housing AuthorityFamilyAid recently partnered with the city I live in - Newton - to set up a Family Navigation Center to help parents and children get back on their feet, stabilize their lives, and secure permanent housing. As a social worker, the work that I’ve always done has been to help children and families be stable and successful. I’m proud to assist FamilyAid in their efforts to help families. And, I’m hoping you can help me and FamilyAid too! I’m lacing up my running shoes not just for the race, but also to fundraise for FamilyAid.  Please consider joining me on this journey and donating to FamilyAid.  Let’s lift up families together! Thank you!
