It's GIVING TUESDAY 💝

We at Family Lives On recognize that this year has been incredibly challenging between shifting to working from home, balancing online schooling for children, loss of jobs, financial burdens, and the inability to connect in the ways we all are used to. However, the residency of our community, particularly the children of FLO, never cease to amaze us.

If you are able, please consider donating $1, $5, $25 or more to our nonprofit, to help us continue funding the tradition of a child who has lost a parent. With the inability to host live fundraisers in the same way as years past, we admittedly have suffered quite a loss to our resources. We are asking for YOUR help, today, as we come together to support each other heading into the holiday season.

Thank you in advance for anything you can donate 🧡
